Brigid's cross, Brighid's cross, or Brigit's cross, or in Irish Cros Bríde, Crosóg Bríde or Bogha Bríde, is an Irish symbol. Though a Christian symbol, it possibly derives from the pagan sunwheel. It is usually made from rushes or, less often, straw. It comprises a woven square in the centre and four radials tied at the ends.
Brigid's crosses are associated with Brigid of Kildare, who is one of the patron saints of Ireland. The crosses are traditionally made on February 1st, which in the Irish language is called Lá Fhéile Bhríde (St. Brigid's feast day).
It was traditionally believed that a Brigid's Cross protects the house from fire and evil. It is hung in many Irish and Irish-American kitchens for this purpose.
