Old world legends tie animals to Christmas birth scenes. The wren is Our Lady’s hen in the Isle of Man, the cuckoo to a Christmas log in France, redrawn fables of ravens in Tyrol, and goats and oxen in Germany. A Moscow or Russian tale links horse and ox to Christ’s manger. A German moon tale has a cabbage-loving peasant and the Christ Child in the moon.
