Connemara Marble St. Brigid's Cross Key Ring

Genuine Connemara Marble Key Rings Hand Carved and Polished in Ireland

One of the most widespread Irish customs associated with St Brigid is the making of the Cros Bride (St Brigid's Cross) which may have originated as a sun symbol. In St Brigid's time, it was customary for rushes to be strewn on the floor of a dwelling. Legend tells us that, one day, Brigid visited a pagan chieftain who was on his deathbed. As she sat by his bed, she reached down and picked up some rushes from the floor and wove them into a cross. The chieftain asked what she was doing and she told him about the significance of the Christian cross and how Jesus had died to save all people, including him. He was overcome by the idea that he could be loved so much and was converted to Christianity before he died.
