St Brigids Cross Necklaces

St. Brigid's Cross is a distinctive symbol deeply rooted in Irish tradition and spirituality. It is named after one of Ireland's patron saints, St. Brigid of Kildare, who is believed to have made a cross from rushes she picked up from the ground. The cross, characterized by its square center and four radials tied at the ends, is traditionally crafted to celebrate St. Brigid’s Day on February 1st, which coincides with the pagan festival of Imbolc, marking the beginning of spring. Wearing a St. Brigid's Cross necklace symbolizes protection and blessing, as the cross is thought to ward off evil, fire, and hunger.
