from €15.00
The Glory Braid is a variation on the Hair Plait Braid. It is a very old design, with several variations. It is broom-shaped plait, which was said to be hung within the home to sweep away evil, and bring friends in the door. People in Devonshire, in England say it derives from the old popular saying:
“To have a house filled with friends is a glory indeed!”
Others say it is linked to the Bible. This design is created from 12 straws and as such, was said to represent the Twelve Apostles, displaying the “Glory of God”. It was often created to adorn pew ends during Harvest Festival celebrations within Churches.
