One of the most widespread Irish customs associated with St Brigid is
the making of the Cros Bride (St Brigid's Cross) which may have originated as a sun symbol.
The cross is traditionally woven on St Brigid's Eve and placed in the home, usually over
the door, to bless all who come in or go out, and to gain protection of the household from
fire and disease.
