Hang this large Brigid Cross in your home for protection or give it as a great housewarming gift. This traditional St. Brigid's Cross will look great hanging in your home! 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. Traditionally, the crosses are woven when the rushes are green, and they dry into a straw color. The St. Brigid's Cross hanging comes on a cardboard backing that explains more about the symbolism.
