Rooster Talk Colored Pencils Art by Olga Hamilton
In Chinese culture Rooster is almost the epitome of fidelity and punctuality, another symbolic meaning of chicken carries is exorcising evil spirits. Talmud mentions that on hearing the cock crow in the morning, the following benediction must be pronounced: "Praised be Thou, O God, Lord of the world, that gavest understanding to the cock to distinguish between day and night" (Ber. 60b). This benediction is traced back to Job xxxviii. 36, where is derived from ("to see"), and the cock is designated as the one who foresees the day. A multitude of sarcophagi are found with the rooster and the sacred cockfight with the understanding of striving for resurrection and eternal life in Christianity. This sacred subject carved on early Christian tombs, where the sepulchral carvings have an important purpose, "a faithful wish for immortality, with the victory of the cock and his supporting genius analogous to the hope of resurrection, the victory of the soul over death". Similar illustrations of cocks in fighting stance are found within the Vivian Bible as well as the fighting cocks capitals in the Basilica of St. Andoche in Saulieu and the Cath�drale Saint-Lazare d'Autun provides �alternate documentation� of the rooster and the religious, spiritual and sacred cockfight. The understanding of the divine spiritual endowment of the rooster within Islam, may be evidenced in the words of Muhammad of that Abrahamic religion in one of the six canonical hadith collections, stating that of "when you hear the crowing of the roosters, then ask Allah of His bounty, for verily they have seen an angel."
