9ct Gold St Bridget’s Cross Pendant

A 9ct yellow gold St Bridget’s Cross pendant, this is a lovely unique piece. 

A Bridget's cross is a four-ended cross made of straw or rushes, with a knotted pattern in the middle. Brigid's cross is typically woven on 1 February, her feast day. Hanging Brigid's cross from the rafters of one's house was believed to bring the blessing and protection of the saint for the remainder of the year.

This pendant can be seen as a symbol of protection. St. Bridget was the patron saint of poets... but she's also the patron saint of midwives, newborns, blacksmiths, dairymaids, boatmen, farmers, scholars to name a few.
