  1. St Brigid's Cross

    Share Share Post
    St Brigids Cross.
    St Brigids cross was made of either straw or rushes. It was made the day before St Brigid's day and then it was hung up on the houses and then another fresh one was made.
    Written by May Sullivan.
    I heard it from my Grandfather aged about 84 years.
