LOSS / CONDOLENCE / HEALING In many traditions, a cardinal is seen as a loved one visiting from Heaven. They are thought to be spiritual messengers and protectors, showing up just when we need them most. The word cardinal is derived from the Latin “cardo”, meaning “hinge” or “axis”. Like a hinge on a door, the cardinal unites the boundary between Heaven and Earth, carrying messages back and forth. Place this keepsake on your Christmas tree, window, or anywhere else it can be seen…and let it serve as a reminder of your loved one in Heaven. Most of all, let it bring you peace and comfort knowing that they are listening, guiding, and protecting you always.   Ornament Size: 3.6" x 3.3" and comes packaged with a story card (with the message above) inside a cloth gift bag. Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth, store away in our custom cloth bag for ultimate protection.
