St. Valentine's Day

We celebrate St. Valentine's Day on February 14. It is a big occasion in Ireland. We send cards, flowers, chocolates and other gifts to our loved ones.

St. Brigid's Day

In Ireland we Celebrate St. Brigid's Day on 1st February. St. Brigid is one of the three patron saints of Ireland.

The children make a St. Brigid's Cross. The Cross is made from rushes. The rushes are woven together to make a cross like the one in the picture.

It brings good luck when it is hung in the family home or in the sheds with the animals.
