EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s in the picturesque village of Toome in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, offers a glimpse into the past as a man and a young boy engage in the traditional craft of making St. Brigid's crosses of straw. The idyllic setting of the thatched cottage, with its distinctive curved roof and whitewashed walls, serves as the perfect backdrop for this timeless scene. The man, dressed in a simple work shirt and trousers, skillfully weaves the straw into intricate patterns, creating the iconic crosses that have been a part of Irish culture for centuries. The boy, with a look of wonder and fascination, watches intently, no doubt learning the techniques of this cherished craft from his elder. St. Brigid's crosses, believed to ward off evil spirits and bring blessings, have been a symbol of the Irish people for over a thousand years. Traditionally, they were made from rushes or straw, often in the shape of a cross, and placed in homes, barns, and fields. The image of the man and boy outside the thatched cottage in Toome, engaged in the age-old tradition of making St. Brigid's crosses of straw, is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Northern Ireland. This photograph not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also highlights the importance of preserving and passing down traditions from one generation to the next.
