Briget's
Cross
This cross is my favorite Irish Craft perhaps it is the story or perhaps it is the way it soothes busy fingers or maybe it is the off balance design which creates motion. The cross is also fun because it is adaptable to modern materials-swizzel sticks in bars-plastic straws -even hair pins! In places where I am known these are now hidden when I arrive! The cross and its story make a great gift for the drinking or dining partner-host or server! Check out our new book which contains the greatest collection in centuries of St. Brigid information including the history and varieties of and instructions to make the cross. Just click here |
