Saint Bridget saw the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of God, wearing a priceless and inestimable crown on her head, with her wonderfully beautiful hair hanging down over her shoulders, a golden tunic gleaming indescribably bright, and a mantle of the color of azure or of a calm sky. While Bridget was all full of wonder at this lovely vision and in her wonderment was standing there as if caught up in helpless amazement within herself, just then, Blessed John the Baptist appeared to her and said, "Pay close attention to what all this signifies. The crown signifies that she is the Queen and Lady and Mother of the King of Angels. Her hair hanging down signifies that she is a pure and immaculate virgin; the sky-colored mantle that she is dead to all temporal things. The golden tunic signifies that she is ardent and burning with the love of God both inwardly and outwardly."
