lied to exnlnin why the poor little
"l:in;, OF all l.r,.s" should DE PIT To
death Oil the festival of tie first mar
tyr.
The most probable explanation is
that the wren was sacred ID the p27'ic3
and was used b. them In t.ivinatiou
and other pagan rites at the festival OF
the winter solstice. which almost coin
cided with Christmas. and consequent
" the clergy urged their converts to
destroy the birds which We're associat-
ed with such unholy rites, just as st.
Patrick's relentless destruction OF the
images Of serpents. used in the ancient
pagan worship of Ireland, gave rise to
the legend that he
Gave the snakes and toads a twist
And benished them all forever!
This seems the more likely, because
"drean." the old Irish name for wren, !"
also means "a Druid" and old folk still
call Jenny" the "Drnid BIRD and Say
that she has the gift of prophecy and
that those who can Interpret her tw1t'
terings as she hovers about q house or
flies from bush to bush can read the
future. In the library of Trinity col
lege, Dublin. there Is curious docu-
ment describing how to interpret the
notes Of the wren.-Mnud Il. Sargent
