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

“埃及神話中，鳳凰每過一個五百年會死于柴火中，而後在灰燼中複活。因此，早期基督徒用鳳凰比作基督複活的象征。”

Did You Know?

Resurrection comes from Anglo-French resurreccioun. Originally, the word was used in Christian contexts to refer to the rising of Christ from the dead or to the festival celebrating this rising (now known as Easter). The word eventually began to be used more generally in the senses of "resurgence" or "revival." Its Latin root, surgere, means "to rise."
