- When our Lord was to be crucified, some robins came and covered him with leaves so that the Jews would not perceive him.
While the Jews were looking for Him the Daradail heard them and said - :
"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.
