St Brigid's Cross Tutorial

[@francesbrown5130]

I love this and use it every Imbolc for my cross.

[@margaretx582]

I've watched a few tutorials on making a St Brigid's cross but this is definitely the best. Top marks , especially for the method of finishing off with rushes instead of thread or rubber bands.

[@lamichiganr326]

*I am celebrating Imbolc for the first time, but there is too much snow to find rushes here in Northern Michigan, so I am going to try this with the white pine needles from a fallen tree I had collected this Winter.* *It will be a small cross, but I am going to give it a try.*

[@ashley-dantesalmon8175]

I made mine out of Rough Horsetail which is a type of Rush. Since it is still pretty cold here in Canada, where I am at. Though the grounds are starting to thaw and I saw a whole bunch of Rough Horsetail. My St. Brigid's cross didn't turn out as pretty as yours but it is still cool

[@JanColdwater]

Absolutely lovely! What a wonderful way to light up the new solar year ahead! Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@brendawhite243]

Best tutorial on this I have seen. Very well demonstrated. Can't wait to have a go.

[@KidcessoryHaven]

I loved learning how to make this. Your video was a joy to watch and was easy to follow! I also liked that you explained what to do with the cross.

[@carolerobertson195]

Excellent tutorial ,really clear lesson ,beautiful result ,made my first one for Candlemas

[@Valda-Runekeeper]

I love this tutorial. I live in south Florida and have never seen rushes like this. I have used the fronds from the Chamaedorea, Dracaena and Creeping Lilly Turf, which are more delicate, but work well. I can tie a proper knot for the ends of if I am careful. Thank you for this video.

[@jvladcliff4083]

Thank you, I just made my first one ever. Great tutorial.

[@LiaAndrews]

Thank you so much for sharing! This was a great tutorial.

[@andyhoustons3776]

How beautiful. Cute decoration on Imbolc. But this is made of fresh grass... in my region we have snow till the end of March.

[@Sylvia441]

Beautiful , you make it look so EZ...will have to try for next Season...TY

[@thomas1144]

Beautiful demonstration

[@cecilyerker]

Happy Imbolc/Saint Brigid’s Day! I live in America so I’m using cattails!

[@PNW_Wellness]

Best Tutorial - I especially love the respect you showed by biting the previously made Cross by adding the Goddess’ cross to the fire to burn. You are very connected to Bridget. Goddess Blessings

[@aclark903]

Bridget is a saint, not a goddess.

[@IrishIvy1987]

She's both actually. Honor her in your way and let others honor her in theirs.

[@aclark903]

@@IrishIvy1987 Delusional.

[@djjones141]

@@aclark903 she was a Celtic goddess, then when Christians came they converted her to a saint because the Celts wouldn't budge from their worship. Imbolc became Candlemas.

[@aclark903]

@@djjones141 No, you are missing a stage. Was she named after a Celtic idol? Probably. Then she became a saint.

[@ogstopper]

Superb! Thank you for this lesson.

[@cathleenmore4422]

i would like to visit Ireland, , when I have the money to go. thanks for sharing this about making St Brigid's Cross

[@laurenbray8314]

Love it. Such a beautiful tradition.

[@murphyjammusashi]

Beautiful. My daughter and I thank you.

[@tylertaws3984]

That is a good Brigid's cross I must complement. I hope that I get that good at it.

[@sharleethomas4390]

Brilliant demonstration thank you

[@IrishIvy1987]

Thank you for this! I used to make these when I was little and now I'll be showing my littles.

[@elganchodepinto]

Genial!!! Thank you. I'm looking for next Imbolc. I hope find green grass.

[@sabineleonhartsberger4022]

that is a lovely tutorial, thank u. In this year, I will weave my first brigid cross :) and next year I will burn my first :D

[@kateannbailey621]

I cant find rushes in New England! Is there an alternative?

[@fortelleirin]

Thank you for a very informant video. Think I got it now🙏🏻

[@daisypeters3216]

Marvelous tutorial. Many greetings for learn me! Her bless you always.

[@carloscorreia8928]

Very interesting!

[@bonnieikamas1201]

Thank you!!! Great knowledge!

[@guidwife]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[@JRCRONHEIM]

That was relaxing.

[@hrv2004jp]

Thank you. I could make St.Brigid's cross for your video.

[@tribaldefender473]

I tried to do just that. But, it falls apart, at a certain stage. It doesn't stay in 1 block, the way the video shows.

[@nonalilamegged]

Very good tutorial. Thank you! Many years ago, in Ireland, I learned on St. Brigid's day how to make a cross with a triangular shape in the center; instead of a square. I forgot how we made it. Would you know?

[@theresa4960]

So the grasses don't need to be dried a bit first - does it tend to get mildewy if you work with them right from the boggy ground? Would love to try it

[@sparkyheberling6115]

Mr Undakava, I agree with Margaret: Yours is by far the best video. About tying the ends together: Do you try to keep the strands in a single layer, or do you let them stack up like a handful of uncooked spaghetti?

[@maryoreilly1766]

amazing

[@witchjacky6167]

just perfect, it´s a pity here in Brazil there´s nothing like this greem thing. so beautiful.

[@chalkychoochoo2304]

Some people use plastic drinks straws or other materials. Experiment!

[@laurenrt92]

I used 1/4in flat oval reeds to make mine. Bought them dried and rehydrated them before bending. You only need around 25ft. I made 22 cuts, 12in length each.

[@BorgospanteAgriturismo]

Thank you! perfectly explained! I tried wtih straw... not so beautiful but is my firs time ;-)

[@MrUndakava]

Agriturismo Borgo Spante San Venanzo Straw makes a lovely cross, just soak it well before use

[@BorgospanteAgriturismo]

I will try tomorrow

[@tylertaws3984]

I need to master how to make Brigid's crosses out of rushes so I can help save ole Ireland. Northern Ireland belongs to ireland. It is the emerald isle. I know a few cookie Irish men that need the Brigid's cross and st. Brigid's day February 1st. Blessed be. End harm none.

[@alexblake6903]

Yup at Brigid 🔛🔝

[@Dream_M1]

Thank you ✨

[@KuroiGekijo]

This guy has major Bob Ross energy.

[@caxctus9487]

No matter how hard I try I just can't do it.

[@corettaha7855]

It’s pretty

[@susangreen2985]

Has anyone tried to make a bread using this cross method? Or would that be sacrilegious?

[@dobtv3732]

It's harder than it looks lol

[@sparkyheberling6115]

𝘼𝙣 𝙋𝙤𝙨𝙩, the Irish postal service, issued commemorative stamps on St Brigid’s Day, 2024. One is Brigid’s Cross, and the other is for the Imbolc festival. I ordered a set (they ship internationally).
