    are flying low that it is a sign of rain. The wren is killed St Stephen's day because when the soldiers were looking for St Stephen the wren made noise in the bushes in which St Stephen was hiding and the soldiers found St Stephen. It is said the robin was at Calvary when our Saviour was crucified and the robin pulled a thorn out of His head and a drop of the precious blood fell on the robin's breast and from that day robins have red breasts.
