Cross, St. Brigid Cross on brown cord
Gold-plated St. Brigid Cross on a 30" brown cord. 2.5"H. Designed exclusively by Faith Matters, Inc. by artist Renée Grace Reilly. Excellent for Altar Servers, Eucharistic Ministers, and others, especially at St. Brigid Churches and Parishes.
"St Brigid is the Patron saint of babies, children of unmarried parents, and midwives. Also, blacksmiths, brewers, cattle, nuns, poets, poultry raisers, printing presses, sailors, scholars, and travelers. She is one of Ireland's three patron saints.
The legend is that Brigid made the first Cross like this one out of rushes she found on the ground beside a man who was dying, as she sought to explain to him the story of Jesus on the Cross. In Ireland, it is traditional to hang a St Brigid Cross in the home in honor of this saint, especially over doorways, in order to ensure good health and protection from harm."
