ROBIN REDBREAST : Legend has it that the robin received its red breast from trying to remove the bloody thorns from Christ's head at the Crucifixion, with a small drop of His blood falling on the bird and injuring itself in the process.
Whether the aforementioned legend holds true or not, we will never know; but, I do know that I just absolutely love these little robins! They were my favorite as a kid, and still are today. When I see them hopping about, I know that spring in it's full blush is truly a-comin'!
