Cardinals are a popular symbol of Christmas for many reasons. Cardinals are a symbol of hope and joy during the Christmas season. Their song is thought to be a message from the heavens, reminding people of hope and joy. In Christian tradition, the Cardinal’s red feathers represent the blood of Jesus Christ, which symbolizes sacrifice and redemption. We believe Cardinals are messengers from the spiritual world. The Latin word cardo means hinge, and some think of the Cardinal as the hinge on the doorway to the spiritual world.
Cardinals remain during the cold, dark winter months, serving as a symbol of hope and light.
Cardinals are sociable birds, and their families stay together even after the chicks have matured.
To attract Cardinals to your yard, keep your feeders full and provide water in a birdbath. Merry Christmas!
