This is one of the most widely used of all symbols of our Lord’s Resurrection.
According to legend, this bird lives to an age of four or five hundred years. Then it gathers a nest of sweet smelling twigs and spices that are set on fire by the heat of the sun, and the fire consumes the Phoenix. Out of the ashes the bird rises again, reborn to live another five hundred years.
The symbolism is two-fold: it may pertain to the Resurrection of our Lord, or it may signify the fact that those who fall asleep in Christ shall rise again to newness of life.
