Making a St Bridget’s Cross

Friendship’s a noble name, ’tis love refined.

Susannah Centlivre

After visiting the Cliffs of Moher, we took a moment solitude at the Well of St Bridget. The well is crowded with devotions and gratitude for the Saint’s intervention for the pilgrims who worship at this holy sight.

A few days latter, Barry showed us how to construct a simple St Bridget’s Cross from the reeds that abound in the bogs near Leenane. Both stops had special meaning for Colleen whose middle name is shared with the Saint, her Grandmother and our daughter.
