St. Brigid Cross Small Wall Hanging 6” x 6” x ¾” Made in Ireland

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. Originally, the crosses are weaved when the rushes are green, and they dry into the straw color seen here. The St. Brigid hanging comes on a cardboard backing that explains more about the symbolism. 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 Naomh Padraig of Co. Roscommon. Naomh Padraig is Gaelic for "Saint Patrick" and has a passion for bringing the traditional symbols of the Irish saints to the global population! This meaningful St. Brigid Cross will make a beautiful hanging for your home all year round!
