A group of lepers came to Brigid looking for some Ale as they were very thirsty and hungry. She had no Ale, only some water which had been prepared for bathing. She blessed this water with faith and it changed into excellent ale which the lepers drank in abundance. Brigid's hospitality became known throughout all of Ireland.
