Everybody is familiar with the idea of Phoenix symbolism – a bird that rises from the aftermath of fire from its ashes. It symbolizes resurrection, immortality and rebirth, and is also representative of hope.
Does any one have any idea about the same bird?
First of all, I am sure no one of you would ever have witnessed the same creature. Because, It’s not real.
Yeah, it surprised me too!
A Phoenix is a mythical bird that likely originated in ancient Egypt or the Middle East. However, other cultures, including the Greeks, Chinese, Hindus, and others, have similar stories about supernatural birds.
In Egyptian mythology it is associated with the sun god. A phoenix is a mythical bird with colorful feathers and a tail of gold and scarlet, with supernatural powers to come back to life. According to a Greek legend, the phoenix bird lived in Arabia, in the woods near a cool well. Every morning at dawn, it used to bathe in the well and sing melodious songs. Even the sun god stopped his chariot near the well to listen to the beautiful songs of the phoenix. The sun god was supposed to be the mentor of this bird.
It was believed that each phoenix bird lived for 500 years, and when it was about to die, it collected some twigs and spices like cinnamon and constructed a nest. Then it calmly sat on the nest and waited for a ray of the early morning sun to set fire to the nest. The bird fearlessly faced its fiery death and did not make any effort to escape from the burning nest. Soon after the phoenix was reduced to ashes; a worm used to come crawling out of the ashes and, within no time, it metamorphosed into a new, beautiful little phoenix. It then carried its father’s ashes to the temple of the sun god for burial. The majestic bird then went on to live in Arabia where it lived for the next 500 years, and then the cycle was repeated.
To all those who struggling in your life today, Wishing to be a Phoenix tomorrow
