The fifth and sixth class children began the day by learning how to make St. Brigid’s crosses from grasses (rushes). They went on to pair up with children in each of the other three classrooms, teaching them how to make their own crosses. It was wonderful to observe the kindness and patience of the older children while working with the younger children.
In addition to the shamrock and Celtic harp, Brigid's cross is a national symbol of Ireland
Legend suggests that placing the St. Brigid’s cross by the house entrance keeps all who enter, or leave, safe!
