THE LEGEND

• The origin of the Phoenix goes back in time to Adam and Eve. When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, a beautiful rainbow bird was born from the first rose in a rose bush. But when Eve ate the apple and they were expelled from the garden, a flaming sword of Cherub fell from the sky. A single spark fell into the bird’s nest and the bird was burnt to death. But in the nest lay a red egg which held the Phoenix, a bird of fire.
