When seeing a robin with its colourful red breast, it can appear to many of us as another treasured bird in the U.K, but there is more to the bird in old wives tales, which many people believe.
The saying goes “when robins appear, loved ones are near” reflects the belief that robins serve as messengers from the afterlife.
In Irish and Celtic culture, robins are seen as a sign that someone important is nearby, and that lost loved ones may be visiting.
Whether the saying is true or not is a thought when meeting up with a robin, and for us to pause and think of a lost love one who we deeply miss.
