In Russian folklore The Bird carries a lot of meanings. It symbolizes the spring, The Sun itself, and different aspects of The Sun (its warmth, light, and power). Fire essence of the Bird is reflected in fairy-tales of Firebird, and in Russian euphemism for a fire (“a red rooster”). The Bird promises a good harvest and prosperity. The Bird embodies the concept of love, marriage, and motherhood.
