    There are crosses made on St. Brigid's Day. When making crosses you twist one rush round another. Rushes are what you make them with. They can be made any size. They are made by the family. There is a cross placed in every room in the house and one in every outhouse. There is holly hung up round the house at Christmas time. There are palms taken to the chapel to be blessed on Palm Sunday, and then they are hung in the house and in the outhouses.
