The Many Faces of the Rooster
The Rooster is traditionally considered to be a favorable sign. His crow signals the break of dawn and the beginning of a fresh start, driving away the ghosts and evil spirits of the night. He is the only creature of the Chinese zodiac with wings and, as such, is regarded as the messenger that connects the two worlds of heaven and earth.
He has five virtues: knowledge, military expertise, courage, benevolence and credibility. His crest, `Kwan', means coronet, and represents the pen, the symbol of knowledge, while his claw symbolizes the sword of military skills. When confronted by an enemy, the courageous Rooster fights till the end without retreat. He shares it to show his compassion when he finds food and he shows his reliability by never failing to show off on time.
Nearly every place with a country ambiance will not exist without an image of a rooster. Whether it comes as a basket, a statue, a wall hanging, a bookend or any decorative item, this avian has become a staple of any country-inspired interior design. But while most people would appreciate it because of its rustic and homey charm, there is much more going on behind it. There are actually a lot of stories and traditions linked with this animal than most would be aware of.
The rooster crowed three times when Peter, the apostle, denied Jesus according to the Bible. This signified the beginning of the Passion of Christ but in modern times, it represents infidelity. Frequently seen on weather vanes atop Churches, the animal is also a traditional reminder for people to go after the good direction and to be watchful of evil forces forever. Because of the depth of the rooster's roots in the Christian faith, the international Catholic indoctrination group, Walk to Emmaus, has adopted its colorful image as a symbol of their group's tribute to God's colorful creations.
The rooster is a representation of good fortune and is one of the twelve zodiac signs for the Chinese. They believe that the world is filled with positive and negative energies or Yin and Yang and the only way for people to live harmoniously is to maintain these two forces in perfect balance. The rooster is considered to be a positive energy which has the capacity to influence the overall energies of the world in a positive way. While for Christians, the animal represents Peter's infidelity, the Chinese believe it is a sign of fidelity as well as moral fortitude and honesty.
There are many other interpretations of the rooster as it is used by various organizations and even nations worldwide. While the Greeks thought it was how the gods declared their making of a new day, people who dream of it are said to be reminded of life passing by. In Italy, it is highly valued for having saved an entire village from their opponents when it crowed constantly and awakened everybody while some say it is highly honored by the animal kingdom, including lions.
We can simply purchase different sorts of rooster-inspired decor and it has never been easier to find them nowadays. Of course, the Internet has played a major role in keeping the grand traditions behind this lowly animal alive. Online, we can find various stores dedicated to rooster products which many now believe are far more than their financial worth.
