Handmade Brigid’s Cross

Made from Wheat, sizes and color vary

St. Brigid’s crosses are exchanged between friends and family. They can also be hung above the door of your house where they’re thought welcome visitors, and protect the home and those who live within. 

Traditionally people also placed these crosses in their rafters, and they were thought to protect the home from fire and lightning.

St. Brigid’s Cross Poem
Author, unknown (1735)

St. Brigid’s Cross hung over the door,
which did the house from fire secure,
and tho’ the dogs and servants slept,
by Brigid’s care, the house was kept.
