Summary
[edit]DescriptionBlackbird, Bishopstone - geograph.org.uk - 1396056.jpg |
English: Blackbird, Bishopstone. Blackbirds are the subject of many traditions and superstitions many of which are contradictory.
It is said that a young girl is able to tell what sort of man she will marry by the first bird she sees on St Valentine's Day (14 February). If it is a blackbird, she will marry a clergyman. If she sees a cock and hen together, she will marry the next year. The song of the blackbird makes it a symbol of temptations, especially sexual ones. The devil once took on the shape of a blackbird and flew into St Benedict's face, thereby causing him to be troubled by an intense desire for a beautiful girl he had seen. In order to save himself, the saint tore off his clothes and jumped into a thorn bush. This painful act is said to have freed him from sexual temptations for the rest of his life. |
