The bright red of a cardinal bird and green of a Christmas tree are symbols of hope and life at Christmastime. The cardinal visits and brings joy, color and life to give us a reminder that the cold winter days will pass and spring will return. Placed upon an evergreen tree we are given hope. The cardinal is also a symbol for loved ones lost. This collection of cardinals in a shrub can be a memorial to all those family members celebrating Christmas in Heaven. All sides are nicely detailed. It is made of blown glass, delicately hand-painted and has sparkling glittered accents.
