  1. St Brigid's Cross

    Share Share Post
    St Bridgets cross is made on the last day of January and on the first of February, it is put up over a picture. That night when St Briget's day is past the cross is taken down. They were made long ago and an odd person makes them yet. A woman who makes them is Mrs Reilly Ennisbeg Cloverhill, Co Cavan. They are made from rushes. I do not know how they are made.
