Today we celebrate Saint Brigid’s day. Saint Brigid is the patron saint of poets, midwives, newborns, Irish nuns, fugitives, blacksmiths, dairymaids, boatmen, chicken farmers, cattle, scholars and sailors.
Making crosses this week out of rushes has has been a lovely way to celebrate her feast day. The children worked really hard to make the crosses for Fr John to bless on Tuesday morning. Each family got to take one home to keep on the feast day, the first day of Spring.
