According to an Irish tradition, the St. Bridget's cross is hung over doors on February 1st in order to celebrate St. Bridget's day and to ward off bad luck and evil from your home, as well as invite health and prosperity. Being such a powerful symbol, it would make a wall-hanging piece that's worth keeping all year round. Besides, it would also make a wonderful gift for someone who has just moved into a new house. It's a wonderful antique-looking wall hanging made from polished brass that would be perfect for any home!
