Go raibh míle maith agat. I cut rushes that were growing in the centre of my beloved mum and dad's grave for the blessing of the graves last week and a few days later a young cousin in America tragically passed away. I made a St. Brigid's Cross tonight using your instruction from those rushes and it's going to America tomorrow with relatives to be placed in his grave at his funeral next week.

For any philatelists out there: The Irish postal service came out with two commemorative stamps on St Brigid’s Day, one for Brigid’s Cross and one for the Imbolc Festival. This was only six months ago so the stamps are still available, and they ship internationally.

It looks as though starting with a straight piece will result in two legs being slightly thicker than the other two. Even though the difference isn’t noticeable, is there a reason for not starting with a folded rush, the way you did with the three-leg Brigid’s cross?

I think it's really a beginner's way with the straight rush, legs are uneven but not noticeable. Nice question. Thanks

Would the type of rush used for this be Juncus tenuis or Luzula campestris? Both are referred to as field rush in different regions, and bulrush also seems to be a common weaving grass in the UK. Is there one specific variety used to make Brigit’s Cross, and if so...any historic or practical reason for that choice?
@BigGreenArt

Juncus is native field rush here in Ireland, on poor ground, so historically this is what our ancestors had at hand. We can use any stalk which doesn't snap when we bend it
