This beautiful antique bronze style St. Brigid’s Hanging Ornament is the perfect Irish symbol for your home or as a gift to a friend. The cross comes with a gold ribbon for easy hanging.

St. Brigid’s Cross is traditionally woven from reeds every February 1 as a tribute to St. Brigid and is thought to protect the home and family from harm wherever it is displayed. St. Brigid is associated with Ireland’s many rivers, tributaries, loughs and islands and is said to have converted a pagan Irish high chief on his deathbed by weaving him this style cross from reeds. Since then, the tradition has been carried on in Irish culture each year.

Wild Goose Studio was founded in 1970 by artists Brian Scott-McCarthy and Kathleen Smyth to create a range of artifacts inspired by Ireland’s rich cultural heritage and contemporary design. Based in Kinsale, County Cork.
