  1. St Brigid's Day

    Share Share Post
    On St. Brigid's day the old people make crosses of wood and cover them with silver paper. These they call St. Brigid's crosses. When they have made them they place in the roof of their houses and leave them there until the next St. Brigid's day when they make new ones.
