A spokesperson for Athiest Ireland has said it is not ‘appropriate’ for schools to encourage children to make St Brigid’s Crosses.
As we celebrate the first February Bank Holiday Monday, and St Brigid’s Day, the organisation for those who do not practice religion said in a multicultural society, these emblems of Christianity should not be taught.
Most people who went to school in Ireland will remember making these crosses with rushes to celebrate the arrival of Spring.
