Do you want to know how to learn how to make a St. Brigid's Cross? Folklorist Michael Fortune shows you how.
There are many different styles of St. Brigid's Cross found around Ireland, and here are four videos to show you how to make four different designs. Click on the videos below to start making!
The videos are easy to follow and once you have mastered the classic St. Brigid's Cross design, you can move onto the other three.
I've always loved making these crosses at this time of year and never tire of going out into wet boggy fields and gathering the rushes in time for St. Brigid's Day.
To make these crosses all you need are some fresh green rushes, some string, a pair of scissors, determination and patience.
