Lá Fhéile Bríde

We celebrate St Bridget’s day (Lá Fhéile Bríde) to mark the beginning of spring on the first of February. It traditionally involve making crosses from rushes, reeds or even straw on St. Brigid's Eve. By placing a cross above your main door, it was said that St. Brigid would not allow any harm or evil spirit to pass the protective charm of her cross.
