Three-Legged St. Brigid’s Cross – Handwoven Wheat

Each of these unique three-legged crosses is handwoven in Ireland from locally grown wheat, using traditional methods passed down through generations. Unlike the more familiar four-armed St. Brigid’s Cross, the three-legged style is much rarer and steeped in folklore.

The story goes that these crosses were woven at the threshold of Irish homes to protect against misfortune and to bless the household. Farmers would often hang them in barns and byres, believing they brought good fortune to the land and animals. The three legs are said to symbolize strength, unity, and the cycles of nature — the eternal rhythm of sowing, reaping, and resting.

Because every piece is handmade, no two crosses are ever exactly alike. The natural wheat gives each cross its own warm, golden character, connecting it to the Irish earth where it grew.

Hang it in your home as a blessing of protection, a meaningful gift, or a timeless piece of Irish heritage.
