The Wren, the Wren the king of all birds, St. Stephenses day, he was caught in the furze.
Although he is little, his honor is great,
Rise up, kind sir, and give us a trate.

Lord, today we celebrate the entrance of into eternal glory.
He died praying for those who killed him.
Help us to imitate his goodness & to love our enemies.
We ask this through our Lord.

St Stephens day
day

The king of winter lives, and winter is strolling into view.
Let’s hope it’s a bit of frost and crisp clear days rather than only knee deep mud!

Wren Boys, Athea, Co. by Kevin Danaher, 1947. “The wren, the wren, the king of all birds, St. Stephen's Day was caught in the furze....Up with the kettle and down with the pan, And give us a penny to bury the wren.”
