Robins repeat pattern - Card

How did the robin acquire its red breast? In Christian tradition, it is thought that a robin tried to remove the crown of thorns from Jesus’ head during the Crucifixion; drops of Christ’s blood stained his breast forever. In another myth, the robin’s breast was scorched fetching water for souls in Purgatory. Watercolour illustration , repeat pattern of robins by Daniel Mackie. Printed on High quality 330gsm card.
