Honoring an old tradition with new materials. 🌿✂️

St. Brigid's Cross is one of Ireland's oldest symbols — traditionally woven from rushes on February 1st to mark Imbolc and welcome in the light of spring. I made mine from paper, and honestly? The folding is almost meditative.

Four steps. Two hands. One very ancient symbol.

Ireland has two patron saints — one of whom we talk about much more than the other. Here's @TheConversationUS's story about St. Brigid, who shares her feast day, Feb. 1, with the start of spring.
