Celtic myth associates the European Goldfinch with the Title "Thornbird"
the story states a Goldfinch plucked a Thorn from Christ's Crown of Thorns, as a result the bird was spattered with blood on its feathers, the feather being a symbol of the Archer/Fletcher also
used in Ancient Egypt as the counter weight to the judgment of the Heart,
while Blood/Water mentioned in John is the Alchemy Wine Jar euphemism for the New Life process that is linked to Cana-Canna, Altars & Weddings.
The Goldfinch appears in several acclaimed paintings including Da Vinci's Madonna Litta.
Australian author Colleen McCullough hit the light in April 1977 with the publication of her book the Thornbirds.

The Thor-Bird Book has a extensive collection of Bible related themes, diligently researched to create a masterpiece that plays on the conscious of our moral existence.
Out of All the names that Colleen had to chose from, the center of the Thorn bird epic was based in the imagery sheep station named Drogheda, located in a isolated part of Australia. Drogheda name is borrowed from a very ancient town in Ireland that sits on the mouth of the river Boyne, the name Drogheda in English means "Bridge of the Ford" a crossing of the circles of time is associated with Drogheda, around five miles West of Drogheda on the banks of the river Boyne is the 5000 year old Megalithic mound with standing stone columns entrance that is aligned with the winter solstice, on a clear day from the 19th to the 23rd of December a shaft of light shines thru the top of the doorway illuminating the inside of the passageway, calibrating a scientific time calculator wonder, other time cycles including the 8 year circle of Venus where the planet makes a return to the same spot on the same day, researchers verify the 97 kerb stones around New-grange are time markers to help mark and gauge the Goddess Planet of Love, hidden from time, New-grange was re-birthed in 1669 nine years on from the Battles of the Boyne when local landowner Charles Campbell's farm hands raided some stones, only to stumble upon the secret entrance to the "Brú na Bóinne" Tomb, the English translation gives us "The Palace of the Boyne" or the Biblical themed "Mansion of the Boyne" which leads us to Welsh-Scots interpretation of Bru meaning Golden Womb, and Scots -French, Boinne gives us the the Pretty or Beautiful fire lady.
Further insight to this area may be present in the name Boyne, meaning White Cow, many ancient religions of the world pay tribute to the bovine species, Europe continent itself is named after the Goddess Europa and is often represented by the White Cow.

Thanks to the gift from God the human tree survives, which in turn may give the answer towards Bovine meaning, Bo comes from Old Norse, explanation "to Live" and vine, a plant often with wood stem that grows and when mature overhangs with its fruits.
The Bull with in ancient times, was regarded as a fertility sign, the Sacrifice of Bulls at the Altar is a recurring theme with in the Bible writings, Exodus 29:36 KJV states....
And you shall offer a BULL Every Day as a Sin Offering for atonement. You Shall Cleanse the Altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it.
Baptist with Water cleanses our sin, Fire is also associated with passions, something we are reminded
when at the Altar.........Leviticus 6:13 KJV
A Fire shall always be burning on the Altar; It shall Never GO OUT!
The Lord's promise, where ever we have Men we also have Women.
Leviticus 1:4-9 KJV
Leviticus 1:4-9 King James Version (KJV)
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
Modern day Home of Bull sacrifice is Spain, the Matador's task is to kill the Bull symbolically through the Heart with the sword, called the estoque, "that cue", from here in a way that arouses curiosity, Scots legal term esto is a word used to plead a alternative set of circumstances, the Matador's other aid is the Red Cape, with in the Bible the Red Cape is the power coat of Jesus considered by some to be related to the one handed over by Elijah to Elisha, whom he found plowing the field that was pulled by twelve yoke Oxen, the process of the plough is turn over ground so it may be ready to plant new seed, together with the 12 Bovines whom represent the zodiac 365 circle, with the power cape Elisha was now our Earthly representation of new Fertility, for those whom believe that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah, a number of observers thru the ages consider Elisha, name meaning "My God is Salvation" to be the reincarnation of Jesus?

5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
6 In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

“There is a legend about a bird which sings only once in it's life, more beautifully than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves it's nest, it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, it impales it's breast on the longest, sharpest thorn. But as it is dying, it rises above it's own agony to outsing the Lark and the Nightingale. The Thornbird pays it's life for that one song, and the whole world stills to listen, and God in his heaven smiles, as it's best is brought only at the cost of great pain; Driven to the thorn with no knowledge of the dying to come. But when we press the thorn to our breast, we know, we understand.... and still, we do it." ~ Colleen McCullough”
