The phoenix is a widely popular mythological bird during ancient timesEven his legend knew how to migrate from culture to culture at this time, thus from the Egyptian culture, in which it would have originated, it moved to the Greek where it also knew how to hold great importance. The Arabs also knew how to attribute enormous relevance to this bird because of the myth that it already held on its back.
On the other hand, Christians knew how to extrapolate this relevance of the myth and adapt it to their beliefs. And so it is that the Phoenix is used as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus for Christianity.
The phoenix was distinguished by its ability to consume itself by fire and then rise from its own ashes. This situation occurred every five hundred years according to the myth. Its size is like that of an eagle and its physical characteristics include its orange and yellow feathers, its large beak and its powerful claws.
But this myth was not only hyper popular among Greeks and Egyptians, and then it also knew how to remain well present to this day but not only as a myth but also to attribute a symbolic meaning to it.
Because in our times we usually call the Phoenix bird that person who is capable of returning, of returning, with all the strength in the world, to his life, to work, to act, after having suffered a huge setback that left him lying at the time .
But of course, it is as strong as the Phoenix itself that can turn all that pain, frustration, etc. in strength and keep fighting.
So, today, the Phoenix is absolutely linked to issues such as strength, fortitude and the ability that an individual has when it comes to reinventing himself, to be reborn, both physically and mentally and for that reason it is beyond cultures and beliefs. Even those who do not subscribe to any current of thought, use the image of the phoenix as a symbol of strength and personal reinvention.
