St. Peters Basilica, Rome- The Northern Cardinal has graced more Christmas cards than any other bird. It symbolizes hope, joy and connection to those who are no longer with us.
- The Cardinal's vibrant red feathers and the sound of its sweet whistle (sounding like cheer, cheer, cheer) remind us that beauty exists even during the coldest and darkest of times.
