Cock-a-doodle-doo! Make room on the branch for the most exquisite French Hen Ornament this side of Paris, plucked right out of the beloved "Twelve Days of Christmas" tune. This glass ornament from Old World Christmas brings a touch of elegance and a story of virtues to your festive fir.
Most recognized for being part of the Twelve Days of Christmas song, the three French hens represent the three Cardinal Virtues: faith, hope and charity. In chicken history, the French hen was first raised for as a food source. Today, the French hen is raised for exhibition.
With a lineage that's as rich in tradition as the holiday itself, this three-inch-tall French hen sparkles with detail. Its feathers are a snowy white, dappled with delicate black specks, and it sits proudly in a vibrant blue basket adorned with festive red flowers. This isn't just any hen; it's a symbol of the three Cardinal Virtues: faith, hope, and charity, making it a meaningful addition to your holiday decor.
Originally raised for sustenance, the French hen has since strutted its way into the showier realms of poultry exhibition. And now, this ornament lets it roost in the limelight of your living room, bringing with it a dash of French flair and a sprinkle of historical significance.

Hang it from your tree and let the French Hen Ornament be a reminder of the deeper meanings of the season. It's a unique way to commemorate the holidays and pay homage to a classic Christmas icon. So, let this little hen perch among your pine needles and bring its virtues home for the holidays.
