The staff and students of St. Brigid’s Primary School, Educate Together and Gaelscoil Mhic Aodha in Kildare have come together to create what they say is the largest St. Brigid’s Cross ever formed.
Some 1500 students took part in what the school said was “a wonderful occasion to honour St. Brigid on the 1st official bank holiday in her honour.”
