Robin Wassailing A5 Print
“Here we come a wassailing among the leaves so green”
Robins and wassailing go hand in hand.
Meaning “good health”, to Wassail the ancient tradition of blessing the orchards on twelfth night to ensure a good harvest. Cider was spilt on the base of the trees and bread soaked in cider was left hanging in the branches for the Robins - also known as the spirits of the Orchards - to ensure their protection.
This lovely little Robin is perfect to decorate your home this festive season to wish good health for winter and the new year.
