John 2 19
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Many ancient cultures believed in the existence of a “firebird” native of Arabia who was given new life after dying in flames and rising reborn from its own ashes after three days. The allegory of the phoenix easily served as a symbolic representation of Christ's Passion and death, with the intensity of a consuming fire and Three days later with his Resurrection, on Easter Sunday in the Holy Sepulchre.
