    the little bird has been called Robin Redbreast."

    A third story about the robin
    "When Our Lord was being brought to Mount Calvary on Good Friday a little robin, out of sympathy, followed Him and as the drops of blood fell from Our Lord's sacred head the little robin covered them with leaves. In doing this its breast got tinged with Our Lord's blood, and ever since the robin has a red breast."
