Description
The Cardinal Bird Symbol in Christianity:
The cardinal is symbolic of the living blood of Christ. Both cardinals and blood have long been symbols of vitality, and in the Christian context, that vitality is everlasting. "By His blood we are freed from sin to serve the living God, to glorify Him, and to enjoy Him forever." Traditionally, the cardinal is symbolic of life, hope and restoration. These symbols connect cardinal birds to living faith, and so they come to remind us, that though circumstances might look bleak, dark and despairing, there is always "hope" - (thecardinalexperience.com).
It is also said that if you get a visit from a cardinal at a special time or after the loss of a loved one, it is that loved one letting you know they are still around. That there is hope & life after our lives here on earth. :)
