- When our Lord was to be crucified, some robins came and covered him with leaves so that the Jews would not perceive him.

"He is over there, covered with leaves by the robins."
Thus did the Daradail betray Our Lord. We are supposed to regard the robin as the most blessed of birds. Religious Stories
