St. Brigid's cross
Lots of families have St. Brigid's cross hanging on the wall. The crosses used to be made on the feast of St. Brigid of Kildare, one of the patron saints of Ireland, to protect the home. It is believed that Brigid wove this cross out of rushes lying on the floor of a dying chieftain, and it caused him to convert.
