RESURRECTION in Context
"In Egyptian mythology the phoenix perished on a pyre every five hundred years and then rose rejuvenated from the ashes. Hence the early Christians adopted the phoenix as a symbol of Christ's resurrection." — Rev. Thomas L. Sheridan, quoted in The Lexington (Kentucky) Herald Leader, 17 Mar. 2022
“埃及神话中，凤凰每过一个五百年会死于柴火中，而后在灰烬中复活。因此，早期基督徒用凤凰比作基督复活的象征。”
