    Making St. Brigid's Day crosses last February

    In February 2020, Ms. Clare’s 4th & 5th class learned all about the story of St. Brigid, one of the patron saints of Ireland.  We then decided to make St. Brigid’s Crosses, which are associated with St. Brigid of Kildare.  These are typically small crosses, usually woven by rushes that have four arms tied at the ends, with a woven square in the middle. Have a look at our photos below to see how we made them!
