It was filmed on the kitchen table and probably the most watched demo video on YouTube/Facebook as it’s simple and clear. I use a technique that I developed in schools over the years using a clock as a guide for children. This works for everyone to be honest, young or old and all you need are some fresh green rushes. Enjoy, sha

A tradition passed hand to hand 🤍 Fidelma and Mary have been making St Brigid’s crosses since they were children, and this week they shared that knowledge and some stories of the tradition with staff in store. The St Brigid’s Cross, made to honour St Brigid is traditionally hung in homes for protection and blessing. A simple craft, and a tradition that connects people, then and now. | Foy and Company
