What happened: Carmel Hayes has been teaching children in south Armagh how to make St Brigid's crosses for over 20 years at a school named after the saint.
Why it matters:
- Preserves a cultural and religious tradition in the local community
- Engages young students with heritage linked to their school's namesake
MNN Take: The ongoing practice highlights the importance of cultural education in schools, helping children connect with their local history and traditions.
