The Christmas Cardinal

Legend of the Cardinal

“A card of legends.”

The Cardinal is called the “Christmas Bird” for its spectacular red color. Legend says that the Cardinal is the symbol of beauty and warmth of the holiday season. A glimpse of this brilliant bird brings cheer, hope and inspiration on a gray, cold, snowy, wintry day. This is nature’s reminder for us to focus on our faith; the Cardinal’s scarlet plumage represents the blood of Christ shed for the redemption of mankind. This lovely swap card created by Olive Barnes is a wonderful representation of the legend on paper.
