Wren Day is a festive day celebrated on December 26th in Ireland and some other places. It is also known as "St. Stephen's Day." On this day, people remember an old tradition where groups, called "Wren Boys," dress up in colorful costumes and sometimes paint their faces. They go from house to house singing songs and playing music. Long ago, they used to carry a fake wren bird, but now it's more about fun and community. The tradition comes from old stories, and today, it's a way for people to celebrate together and enjoy music and dancing.
