St. Brigid’s Crosses - February 1st


On Friday, the 1st of February, it was St. Brigid's Day. We learned lots about St. Brigid. We learned about her childhood, her young adult years and how she continued to spread Christianity throughout her life.

We read a story about St. Brigid's cloak and coloured in pictures of her.

We learned about the origin of the St. Brigid's Cross and some of the traditions that go along with it.

We also made St. Brigid's Crosses out of straws, we found it quite tricky and our little fingers were sore from all the pinching!!!!!!! But they turned out great! Here are our finished crosses:
