The cloak was a source of many miracles during Brigid's lifetime and is kept now in the Cathedral in Bruges, Belgium. When Brigid wakes from this vision in her own stable by her own sheep, she finds the tattered blue cloak she had worn fully restored and covered in golden stars. Our Lady thanks this "child of the West" for her generosity. She procures the stable for them and wraps a shivering Mary in her own blue cloak, and the Christ Child is born.
