St. Brigid’s Day Weaving St. Brigid’s Crosses

One of the oldest customs and traditions associated with St. Brigid is the weaving of the crosses.  Each year people weave a St. Brigid’s cross leading up to the feastday on February 1^st. The crosses are then placed over the door seeking Brigid’s protection against fire and disease.  There will be an opportunity for those who visit Solas Bhride between 10.30 a.m. – 12.00 noon to weave a cross.
