- one evening the Blessed Virgin and St Joseph though tthat harm would come to this Child so they stow under a palm tree for Shelter. They had no food and soon after a spring of water clear came up out of the earth - The Palm had fruit on it. Some people ? the reason that the robin has red breast is because the robin landed on hands to take the nails out of the Lord on the Cross, that this has stained breasts ?
The as has a cross on his back because the Blessed Virgin rode an ass into Egypt. She had the Divine Infant in her ? That our Lord rode this ass into Jerusalem.
