Saint Brigid's Cross

Saint Brigid, also known as Brigid of Kildare, is one of the three Patron Saints of Ireland, along with Saint Patrick and Saint Columba.

St Brigid’s Day, also called Imbolc, is traditionally celebrated on the 1st of February,  about halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, marking the beginning of spring.

Originally Imbolc was a pagan festival associated with the Celtic Goddess Brigid. Over time the Pagan Goddess and the Christian Saint have morphed into each other and today is celebrated by both Pagans and Christians.

Traditionally Saint Brigid’s Cross, made from woven rushes or straw, hangs by the door of a house.  It is thought to ward off fire, hunger, illness and evil spirits from the homes in which it is displayed for the year ahead.
