Saint Brigid also known as Mary of the Gael, is the Celtic Saint of well being. She wove the
original symbolic cross from rushes from the River Shannon. An Irish tradition is to hang her Cross
over doors on her feast day of February 1st to invite good health for the coming year as well as
protecting your home from Evil and Want. That is why a Saint Brigid’s Cross makes a perfect New
Home gift. Saint Brigid built the first Irish convent beside a huge oak tree, known as Cill Dara
(Church of the Oak Tree), now known as Kildare. This 3.75" W x 3.75" L Saint Brigid's Cross has
wonderful detail. It is because of this size plus the weight of the brass that I suggest this piece
could also be used as a paperweight. Comes boxed from Ireland.
