St. Brigid’s Cross is traditionally woven from reeds every February 1 as a tribute to St. Brigid and is thought to protect the home and family from harm wherever it is displayed. St. Brigid is associated with Ireland’s many rivers, tributaries, loughs and islands and is said to have converted a pagan Irish high chief on his deathbed by weaving him this style cross from reeds. Since then, the tradition has been carried on in Irish culture each year.
