She was inspired by her contemporary St Patrick to follow the Christian path, choosing to devote her life to the poor and needy instead of finding a husband. She even prayed for her beauty to be taken away so no-one would want her hand in marriage.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eShe founded many convents and monasteries throughout Ireland, as well as a school for art.
