  2. Old Irish Customs

    Share Share Post
    In Inniskeen, Co. Monaghan, the people used to make St. Brigids crosses. The cross was made of rushes and the size was about six and a half inches long and five and a half inches broad. Sometimes the cross was kept and hung over the door.
    Holly is hung up about a week before Christmas and sometimes ivy is hung up with it.
