The Meaning of Cardinals at Christmastime
Have you ever wondered why cardinals are so integral to the meaning of Christmas?
Some believe the red cardinal at Christmas time represents hope and happiness at a time when skies are gray and add a splash of vibrant color against a backdrop of snow.
Others believe it represents the blood of Christ as traditionally, Christmas has been a celebration of Jesus. This is also why many believe red is the primary color of Christmas.
Whatever you believe there’s no denying the beauty the cardinal brings and the popularity of this bird over all others during Christmas.
