Margaret Birmingham   
 

Margaret Birmingham –Ireland -16th Century

Margaret chose harsh imprisonment in Dublin Castle, and eventual death, rather than deny her faith in the Catholic Mass. She befriended hunted priests, hiding them in her home.  

When her own son, who had turned priest hunter, became Mayor of Dublin, he had his mother arrested.

The same Dublin Castle is resplendent to-day for different reasons. It welcomes peacemaking people from all over the world. The silence of its stones cries out with gladness.
