The idea of founding the monastery in Tallinn dates to around 1400
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirita_Convent
 The main church of the monastery was consecrated on August 15, 1436 by the Bishop of Tallinn Heinrich II. During its heyday Pirita 
Convent became the largest Catholic monastery in Livonia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livonia)


Bridget of Sweden (1303 – 23 July 1373) or Saint Birgitta was a mystic, famous writer and saint, and founder of the Bridgettines nuns 
and monks.

She is one of the six patron saints of Europe-World, together with Benedict of Nursia, Saints Cyril and Methodius, Catherine of Siena 
and Edith Stein.

( A patron saint or a patron hallow is a saint who in Roman Catholicism is regarded as the tutelary spirit or heavenly advocate of a 
nation, place, craft, activity, class, clan, family, or person. Supposedly, patron saints, having already transcended to the 
metaphysical, are able to intercede effectively for the needs of their special charges )


Her rices:
The most celebrated saint of Sweden was the daughter of the knight Birger Persson of the family of Finsta, governor and lawspeaker of 
Uppland, and one of the richest landowners of the country, and his wife, a member of the so-called Lawspeaker branch of the Folkunga 
family. Through her mother, Ingeborg, Birgitta was related to the Swedish kings of her era.

at the age of 14 she married Ulf Gudmarsson of the family of Ulvåsa, Lord of Närke, to whom she bore eight children, 
four daughters and four sons. Six survived infancy, which was rare at that time. 
One daughter is now honored as St. Catherine of Sweden. 
Bridget became known for her works of charity, particularly toward Östergötland's unwed mothers and their children.
 When she was in her early thirties, she was summoned to be lady-in-waiting to the new Queen of Sweden,

BUT:

Bridget went to confession every day, and had a constant smiling face. Although she never returned to Sweden, her years in Rome were 
far from happy, being hounded by debts and by opposition to her work against Church abuses.

In Sweden itself, different images of Bridget have prevailed over the centuries: the Swedish nationalist image, the ecumenical, the 
European, the spiritual and mystical, even accusations associating her visions with mental illness.

Martin Luther called her die tolle Brigit ("the crazy Bridget"), Olaus Petri called her revelations "day dreams"
#¤¤ __(Luther was this "lutsifarian" who am told, on the punch of HELLenists, greek-rome mechanical relgion order of control, made huge 
large powerful fake branch of Christianty that was directed against Jews and many monks, who was fallowing more Real and Direct 
interpetation of bible, Luther is the guy who was used to drowe Hitler head crazy, as he thought Marthin was christian, that he 
aoppears to be to most)
anyway,

In her pilgrimages to Rome, Jerusalem and Bethlehem, she sent "back precise instructions for the construction of the monastery" now 
known as Blue Church, insisting that an "abbess, signifying the Virgin Mary, should preside over both nuns and monks."





At the age of ten, Bridget had a vision of Jesus hanging upon the cross. When she asked who had treated him like this, he answered
“	They who despise me, and spurn my love for them.

Saint Bridget prayed for a long time to know how many blows Jesus Christ suffered during His terrible Passion. Rewarding her patience, 
one day He appeared to her and said, "I received 5480 blows upon My Body. If you wish to honor them in some way, recite fifteen Our 
Fathers and fifteen Hail Marys with the following Prayers, which I Myself shall teach you, for an entire year. When the year is 
finished, you will have honored each of My Wounds."

 Her visions of Purgatory were also well known.

In addition, "she even predicted an eventual Vatican State, foretelling almost the exact boundaries delineated by Mussolini for Vatican 
City in 1921."

The Bridgettine or Birgittine Order (formally the Order of the Most Holy Savior (lat.: Ordo sanctissimi Salvatoris), abbreviated as 
O.Ss.S.) is a monastic religious order of Augustinian nuns, Religious Sisters and monks founded by Saint Birgitta (Saint Bridget) of 
Sweden in 1344
and approved by Pope Urban V in 1370

The distinctive part of the Brigittine habit for the women of the Order is the metal crown which they wear called the "Crown of the 
Five Holy Wounds". It has five red stones, one at each joint, to remember the Five Wounds of Christ on the Cross. The monks wear a red 
cross with a Eucharistic host at the center on the right breast of their cloak. The Order has its own proper Rite for the Canonical 
Hours, called the Office of Our Lady.


The Order spread widely in Sweden and Norway, and played a remarkable part in promoting culture and literature in Scandinavia; to this 
is to be attributed the fact that the motherhouse at Vadstena, by Lake Vättern, was not suppressed till 1595 even though the Protestant 
Reformation had been widespread in Scandinavia
 By 1515, with significant royal patronage, there were 27 houses


#¤¤ __(protestant are including Lutherians, that i call by joking Lutsifarians as they belive Marthin Luther to be good human, the guy who 
basically told to wipe out jewish culture, the one of the most holy people in religious sense, besides Estonians ofcourse:))



In England, the Bridgettine monastery of Syon Abbey at Isleworth, Middlesex, was founded and royally endowed by King Henry V in 1415, 
and became one of the richest, most fashionable, and influential religious communities in the country until its Dissolution under King 
Henry VIII. One of the monks of the community, Richard Reynolds, O.Ss.S., was among the first members of the English clergy to be 
executed as traitors for his refusal to accept the Oath of Supremacy. He was canonized as a martyr by Pope Paul VI in 1970.
