Brigid was later "Christianized" and turned into one of the Catholic saints, who founded a double monastary and convent in Cill-Dara. "Bride Dara" is therefore a sort of shorthand way of saying "Brigid of Dara." Many of the myths surrounding the Goddess Brigid were tacked on to the saint by the common Irish people. One of these stories is of the death of Brigid's son. The story says that she invented keening while mourning the death of her son on the battlefield. This is the origin of Maura's allusion.

What are the 2 reasons you should wear Green on St Patrick's Day?
Because you wont get pinched and so you can have good luck. Saint Patrick isn't associated with the color green, but he is the patron saint of Ireland, and Ireland's national color is green, as is half of its national flag. So people like to wear green to celebrate the festival of one of the Saints of Ireland. Saint Brigid, another Saint of Ireland, isn't especially linked to the color green, but her day - February 1st - is frequently symbolized by a cross (not a crucifix-shape) made of roughly-woven rushes (a sort of dried grass), or straw.
