- Silk and velvet little ribbons were sewn on to a cardboard cross covered with ribbon. A nice like bunch of ribbons were sewn on to each end of the cross and the nicest bunch was kept for the centre of the cross. On St Patrick's day the children wore these crosses on their shoulders. They were very fond of these brightly coloured crosses. The old people saved up pieces of ribbon from hats and bonnets and kept them for favourite children coming to the house, for the purpose of making these crosses.
