Legend of St Brigid's Cross
St. Brigid's day is celebrated on 1st February, the first day of Spring. In preparation, children would collect rushes and weave crosses. They would take these crosses to local houses where they would walk around the house and then knock on the door saying St. Brigid's blessing:
'Go down on your knees,
Open your eyes,
And let St. Brigid in
To which the household would reply:
'Hail, Hail, the noble woman'
After repeating this three times the cross would be placed in the home to protect the family from misfortune and hunger. St. Brigid's day is still celebrated in Ireland today and you will still find a St. Brigid's cross in most Irish homes.
