Pupils at St Brigid's School in Mullingar invited their parents and friends in to join them on Friday, at a school St Brigid's Cross-making session.

Teacher Phil Tifft, from St Brigid's shows in our video, how easy it is to make the crosses, which are, traditionally, replaced each year.

Check out how by clicking the video.

The crosses made in the school last Friday will be sold to shoppers next weekend, in advance of St Brigid's Day, which falls on Sunday, February 1.  The funds raised are to help the school purchase a new bus.
