Did You Know that #July23 is ALSO #HappyBirthday to #DanielRadcliffe (friend of @DanielRadcliffeHQ) & #CharismaCarpenter @allCharisma & the WHOLE #BirthdayCohort of #SaintBridget @CatholicOnline ? | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or of 'whichever of these holidays & or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Catholic Online describes St. Bridget in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that name better. And I find you understand names better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The name “Bridget” is based on the Irish name #Brighid, built on ancient words that mean Exalted One (Celtic goddess of Fire, Poetry & Wisdom, and daughter of the god |Dagda ... root of the names of Saint #Brigid & Saint #Birgitta (the 'Bridget' I think my calendar is talking about)).

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Leo (on the cusp of Cancer) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Kathryn Hahn (evil witch from WandaVision), singing fiddler Alison Krauss, Eriq La Salle, Daniel Radcliffe, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Woody Harrelson, Monica Lewinsky, guitarist Slash (Saul Hudson), Marlon Wayans, Charisma Carpenter (trendy frenemy of the 90s' Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ronny Cox (NOT the governor from Pirates of the Caribbean, but a ton of other 'serious' roles), "Supreme Court"-Justice Anthony Kennedy, radio-host Don Imus, Paul Wesley (the latest Captain Kirk (2022, STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS)) ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
