CALVARY ROBIN. EASTER STORIES

                                                                             CALVARY     ROBIN

A story is told  in  Ireland that a robin came flying over Calvary on the first Good Friday. He looked down at Jesus upon the cross and saw a thorn from the hawthorn crown had pierced the skin of His forehead. And the robin swooped down, he did, to pluck out that thorn with his beak.

   A drop of blood flowed out of the wound and stained Robin’s breast. And since that day, the Little One’s breast feathers have been the self – same red as Our Lord’s blood, they have. It was a blessing, you know, for the bird’s kindness. Look out for a robin and see for yourself now.

                                                                     Wrens and robins in the hedge,

                                                                     Wrens and robins here and there,

                                                                      Building, perching, pecking,

                                                                      Fluttering everywhere.
