It is known that cardinals have a deep spiritual meaning going back to the name they were given — but did you know a visit from this bird may be a sign or message from a departed loved one?
Have you ever seen a cardinal at a time when you most needed comfort? Cardinals have always had a deep spiritual meaning, tracing all the way back to when they were first named. 'When European settlers arrived in North America, they noticed these birds’ bright red hue and how closely it resembled the red vestments of Roman Catholic leading bishops,' the Farmer's Almanac reported.
And the bird’s jaunty crest is similar in shape to the church officials’ headgear, especially the tall, pointed mitre.' The bright hue goes beyond the pointed adornments of the Catholic Church. 'The red color of the cardinal is seen as a symbol of the blood of Jesus Christ,' Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, pastor of our Lady of Grace in Indian Land, South Carolina, told Fox News Digital. 'In Christian belief, it is the blood of the Lord Jesus that has opened the gates of paradise to humanity.
The festive color of the cardinal — the males are bright red, while the females are usually a pale brown, with warm reddish tinges on their wings, tail and crest — brings a great sense of joy to many when they see the bird. 'Such an encouraging presence of cardinals in sorrowful moments has developed into a cultural association of the birds with hope and the presence of our loved ones who have died,' Fr. Kirby continued.
This common occurrence can mean a loved one is close by — and that you will always be loved by that person. 'People have often reported that after the death of their loved ones, they begin to see cardinals frequently,' according to CaringCardinals.com. 'Seeing a cardinal for the first time or more frequently than usual can be an indication from your loved ones that they will always feel your love and will be near you.' Fr.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows,' the passage from Scripture reads. The text uses birds to share a lesson that points toward God's presence in our lives. 'If God could use a sparrow, he could certainly use a cardinal.
