The Phoenix immortality The Phoenix was a fabled bird in Greek Mythology. Only one such bird exists at a time, and it is always male. It had gold and reddish-purple feath- ers, and was as large or larg- er than an eagle. According to to some Greek writers, the Phoenix lived for 500 years. At the end of each life cycle, the Phoenix burned itself on a funeral pyre, Another Phoenix than rose from the ashes with renewed youth and beauty. The young Phoenix, after rai- sing from the ashes, carried the remains of its father to the altar of the sun in the Egy- ptian city of Heliopolis fCity NH , symbol of and rebirth of the Sunl, The long life of the Phoenix, and its dramatic rebirth from its own ashes made it a symbol of immorta- lity and spiritual rebirth. The legend of the mythical Phoenix bird can be compared to the history of Phoenix Union. Just as the mythical bird, Phoe- nix Union has been very great and powerful. We have also had our times of trouble which have hurt our image and wounded our pride. But our wounds healed and we were, and will be, always ready to raise and recover our pride and be what we will always be, the HOME OF THE CHAMPIONS! 4 a Y UI Zi' it Darrell Grissum and Vincent Scott return to the field for second half, Opening N 'laun- Melissa Renteria participates in Halloween dress-up day.
