The St Brigid's cross is a renowned Irish symbol. St Brigid's crosses are associated with Brigid of Kildare, who is a patron saint of the county and the only female patron saint of Ireland.. The crosses are usually made from rushes on the 1st of February, Lá Fhéile Bríde , St Brigid's feast day. The crosses are traditionally believed to protect a house from fire and evil. This beautifully crafted St Brigid's cross bookmark is a piece of ancient Ireland to be cherished.
