How to make a St. Brigid’s Cross:
STEP ONE : Find the shortest straw/rush and hold it upright. Take a second, fold it in two and wrap it around your upstanding straw so that it opens towards the right.
STEP TWO : Rotate your cross-in-progress 90 degrees anti-clockwise so that the second straw is now upright. Take a third straw, fold it in two and wrap it around the second straw so that it opens to the right.
STEP THREE : Rotate so the third straw is now upright. Take a fourth straw, fold it in two and wrap it around the third so that it opens to the right.
STEP FOUR : Repeat the process, adding each new straw at the top, opening to the right, and turning anti-clockwise.
STEP FIVE : By now you have a cross-like shape. Keep repeating the process, pulling each straw tight towards the centre as you do so.
STEP SIX : Your cross should take about 16 straws to complete. Hang it over your mantelpiece as a cross in honour of the saint itself, as a nod to her pagan predecessor.

A liturgy for examinations:
This is a short litury, 10 to 15 minutes, and can be used on the mornings of exams or at the beginning of public exams – it might be a good way to settle nerves and focus students. It would be nice to have a gift for student to take away to their exams – a prayer card, a cross, a dove, a pin. It will be a reminder of some peace and relaxation in the exam hall.

Resource that was emailed to Edmund Rice Schools Trust from one of our teachers. Again a very suitable resource for any class group.
