THE PHOENIX, BIRD OF REBIRTH
This is Catholic Father, Clement, as he wrote in the Epistle of Clement regarding the Phoenix:
Let us consider that wonderful sign which takes place in Eastern lands, that is, in Arabia and the countries round about. There is a certain bird which is called a phoenix. This is the only one of its kind, and lives five hundred years. And when the time of its dissolution draws near that it must die, it builds itself a nest of frankincense, and myrrh, and other spices, into which, when the time is fulfilled, it enters and dies. But as the flesh decays a certain kind of worm is produced, which, being nourished by the juices of the dead bird, brings forth feathers. Then, when it has acquired strength, it takes up that nest in which are the bones of its parent, and bearing these it passes from the land of Arabia into Egypt, to the city called Heliopolis. And, in open day, flying in the sight of all men, it places them on the altar of the sun, and having done this, hastens back to its former abode. The priests then inspect the registers of the dates, and find that it has returned exactly as the five hundredth year was completed.
The Greeks identified it with their own word phoenix φοίνιξ, meaning the color purple-red or crimson (cf. Phoenicia). They and the Romans subsequently pictured the bird more like a peacock or an eagle.
You see the Phoenix never dies.
It can be shown looking like an Eagle and is often mistakenly referred to as one
It lives for 500-1000 years and is reborn into back into itself from a fiery death
It is “Royalty” as depicted by the crown of royals upon its head
The double-headed Phoenix always watches East and West
It watches as it clutches its sword of death
