- An Old World Christmas Glass Ornament
According to legend, a robin’s feathers were singed when it fanned the embers of a dying fire to keep the Christ Child warm, leaving its chest permanently marked with a deep orange color. This now vibrantly colored robin is ready to greet the winter morning with a happy song. Perched full of life, this 8-inch glass ornament brings one of nature's most resilient birds to the holiday tree.
The robin has long been a symbol of warmth in the cold, a reminder that even in the frostiest months, life carries on. This ornament brings that same energy with its rich, fiery belly, shimmering wings dusted in glitter, and a delicate spun glass tail that adds an airy feel to its bold form.
Unlike other birds that migrate when the temperature drops, robins stick around, their cheerful presence standing out against bare branches and snowy landscapes. This ornament is here to do the same, bringing a little splash of color to your holiday. The silver clip allows it to perch effortlessly among tree branches, wreaths, or garlands, as if it has just landed after a morning flight through crisp winter air.
Perfect for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys decorations with a little meaning, this robin carries the quiet resilience of the season. Whether clipped to a Christmas tree or displayed as part of a year-round collection, it serves as a small but striking reminder that warmth, hope, and renewal are never far away.
Text on Old World tag: According to legend, robins acquired their red breasts on the first Christmas. A robin saw the Christ Child shivering as the fire began to die, so the bird flew close to the embers and began fanning them with its wings. As the fire began to burn more brightly, its heat burned the compassionate robin's breast and turned it red.
