St. Brigid Cross Small Wall Hanging 6” x 6” x ¾” Made by Our Maker-Partner in Co. Roscommon

Hang this traditional St. Brigid Cross on your wall for protection. St. Brigid, alongside St. Patrick, is one of the patron saints of Ireland. Just as Saint Patrick has his celebration day in March, St. Brigid is celebrated on the 1st of February. On her holiday, Irish people gather rushes and weave these crosses to hang in their homes. These crosses are both a celebration of St. Brigid and are meant to protect the family and all guests who enter their home.

This St. Brigid Cross measures 6" x 6" x 3/4", making it a great size to hang within your own home! This St. Brigid's Cross was made by the company of Co.
