St. Stephen's Day honours the first Christian martyr...
stoned to death shortly after the Crucifixion.
There are different legends about St Stephen..
One is that hiding from his enemies in a bush...
he was betrayed by a chattering wren.
Another legend holds that during the Viking raids of
the 700's...
Irish soldiers were betrayed by a wren as they were
sneaking up on a Viking camp in the dead of night.
(Ask Monochrome...I think he was there).
A wren began to eat breadcrumbs left on the head of a drum...
and the rat-a-tat-tat of its beak woke the drummer...
who sounded the alarm and woke the camp.
leading to the defeat of the Irish soldiers.
