Back when I was in primary school, we used to make Brigid's crosses out of rushes on St. Brigid's Day (though it was always held to fall on the first, but I guess that's part of the shift from Gaelic festival to Christian tradition).

I had completely forgotten about Brigid's Day until I saw this post. It brings back memories, and explains why I saw a dude with a Brigid's cross in his bag on the train the other day.
