The other myth tells the tale of a robin coming to visit Christ whilst he was on a cross, to sing him a soothing song as he was dying, and thus its brown breast got stained with Christ’s blood, and that’s why they are called Redbreast.

[3] In British mythos, Robin is well known through the story of Babes in the Wood, a tale in which two children find themselves lost in the woods, die, and later are covered with leaves by robins.
