Silver pendant, the phoenix rising from the ashes (symbol of rebirth)

The symbol of the Phoenix has a very profound meaning present in many past cultures that believed in the existence of this firebird. We find references in (Greece, Egypt, China, Japan, India and Vietnam).
Chinese phoenixes symbolize celestial bodies and are believed to have originated from the sun. These creatures are believed to appear only in the holiest places and symbolize high virtue and grace. The phoenix also represents the balance between yin and yang, which is why it is commonly used as a symbol of marital harmony.
In Korean culture, phoenixes appear in the royal emblem and are reserved for queens, while kings are often associated with dragons.
Therefore, it is no surprise to find many badges, emblems and flags with phoenixes rising from the flames to symbolize renewal and resurrection.
In ancient times it was believed that the phoenix was originally from today's Ethiopia and that it lived for a very long time that could exceed 500 years. At the end of its long life, the phoenix built a nest of balsamic plants on the top of a tree and lay there, catching fire in the rays of the sun from which it allowed itself to be consumed. From the ashes of this stake, the phoenix rose reborn and took off towards Egypt and the temple of the Sun in Heliopolis to which it was consecrated, and then began a new and very long existence on earth.
