What are some key differences between the Virgin Mary and St. Brigid?

Question

They seem very similar to me in what they represent.

Answer 1

They should seem similar, Mary is just a dim copy of Brigid.
Brigid was actually a goddess, and where we get the word "bride." She was transformed later into a saint when those who worshiped her wouldn't let go of her.

Answer 2

They both represent devotion to God and self-lessness, but they're both very different. Mary was born perfect without original sin, was the mother of God, Virgin, and the greatest human being God ever created. St. Brigid had eight children and later became a nun when she and her husband agreed to separate.
