    people say you will never go to heaven if you kill a robin. When the soldiers were looking for Our Lord. A wren told them that they would find him in the garden of Gethsemane. That is why the people of Ireland do not like the wren. It is said that a Hairy Mary is God's house. That is why the people do not like to kill Hairy Mary
