I have heard a couple of versions of the story behind seeing a cardinal and here they are . . .
A cardinal is a representative of a loved one who has passed. When you see one, it means they are visiting you. They usually show up when you most need them or miss them. They also make an appearance during times of celebration as well as despair to let you know they will always be with you.
Or
They represent the warmth, the life and energy. A cardinal may symbolize the fire of life that burns within our souls, even in the darkest and coldest times. It reminds us we need to stay strong and positive throughout difficult periods in our life, just as redbird endures the cold winter days
Which ever story you like . . . there is no denying that this cardinal stamp is absolutely awesome!!!
