  1. Stories of the Holy Family

    Share Share Post
    The is one store in this district connected with the Holy Family. It is about the robin.
    When Our Lord was dying on the cross the robin came up to the cross and tried to pull the nails out of the Hands and Feet and he failed. When he was trying to do this he twisted his beak and ever since the robin has a twisted beak. He also got some of Our Lord's Blood on his breast and ever since the robin has a red breast.
