This is one of the two narrowest images that are currently in the benches of aisles. It shows St. Bridget, who was ordered to go to Rome. In the picture she is already on her way to the Eternal City. She is holding a pilgrim's cane and a cross, which she always had during her numerous pilgrimages. According to her biographers, she stared at the cross during the mind prayer. In this image, however, she is looking into heaven where Jesus is showing to her in the clouds. An inscription streching between the Christ and the Saint is complementing the image: D[OMINI] 1349 VT IN EXTRAVAGANTI CAP [ITE vel ITVLO] (from the command of Christ she is heading for Rome, of Anno Domini 1349, as [it is given]).
The Christ indeed sent Bridget to Rome to receive approval from the Pope of the rule of the new order she had prepared in Alwastra monastery. In addition, she wanted to receive an anniversary jubilee, which Pope Clement VI announced in 1350. She also wanted to influence the Pope to return for the good of Church from Avignon.
The pilgrimage, i.e. lonely travelling along the road, was at that time regarded as the image of the monk's life, a kind of exile, the state of strangeness on earth in the literal sense. The convent was a symbol of the inner desert, and the exodus was the commandment to leave oneself, to leave selfishness with the awareness of the insignificance of earthly existence. In the context of the entire cycle, this image belongs to a group of paintings, depicting the second stage of the Saint's life, which she led similar to monastic.
