Do you see baby birds or blood?
I contacted a priest, a scholar, who has spent his entire life studying the Roman catacombs.
He also confirmed that it is a phoenix and has seen this in the Christian catacombs.
elle said:The phoenix was the "mythological" version of the pelican, mixed with an eagle, and the dove, etc...
however the artist wanted to see and create it...
...Everyone is analyzing every single detail on it (which is good) but each trait won't match up exactly to become a pelican, dove, eagle, etc...
The meaning all comes down to be God. It is Jesus who resurrected and died for our sins.
The bird represents Christ and that is its meaning.
That is why it is a phoenix.
The fleur-de-lis on Bonnie's bird represents the Trinity.
In regards to the artifact Bonnie found: The opened body of the phoenix held a small bulb-type container that had the Holy Oil to annoint the dying.
