925 Silver St Bridget’s Cross – An Irish Tradition
St Brigid’s Cross, known as Cros Bríde in Irish, is traditionally made from rushes woven into a distinctive four-armed cross with a woven square at its centre. The tradition has been passed through generations of Irish families and remains one of the most recognisable symbols associated with St Brigid.
Traditionally, St Brigid’s Crosses were displayed in Irish homes, often above a doorway, as symbols of protection and blessing. The making of the crosses is closely associated with St Brigid’s Day on 1 February, traditionally marking the beginning of spring in Ireland.
The story and traditions associated with St Brigid continue to form an important part of Ireland’s cultural heritage. More information about St Brigid and her traditions can be found at The National Museum of Ireland.
