PHOENIX

1. It is said that in the original Eden, under the Tree of Good and Evil, a rose bush flourished. There, next to the first rose, a bird was born, with beautiful plumage and an incomparable song, and whose principles made him the only being who did not want to taste the fruits of the Tree. When Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise, a spark from the fiery sword of a Cherub fell on the nest, and the bird instantly burned.

1.1. But, from the flames themselves, a new bird emerged, the Phoenix, with unmatched plumage, scarlet wings, and a golden body. Some fables later place him in Arabia, where he lived near a well of fresh water and bathed every day singing a melody so beautiful that it made the Sun God stop his chariot to listen to him.

2. The Phoenix bird, or Phoenix in English, is a mythical bird from Greek mythology, which was consumed by the action of fire every 500 years, but then re-emerged from its own ashes.

3. According to the myth, he possessed several gifts, such as the virtue that his tears were healing. The Phoenix also has the power to transform into a firebird, and is the size of an eagle.

4. Due to his death in a different way, the Phoenix bird has become a symbol of strength, purification, immortality and physical and spiritual rebirth, being one of the great figures made in tattoos.
