Saint Blath or Blathnait is an Irish saint who served as a lay-sister and cook in Saint Brigid's abbey at Kildare. Her name, Blath, is the Irish word for 'flower.' The Martyrology of Gorman playfully refers to her as 'blooming Blath', thus the Latinized Flora, that Saint Blath is also referred to. Beyond her role as cook and her involvement in one notable miracle associated with Saint Brigid, her recognition mostly stems from her association with Saint Brigid and brief mentions of her in martyrologies and hagiographical texts. Her feast day is January 29.
