The Legend of The Firebird
In Russian folklore, the Firebird (Zshar-ptitsa) is an animal with feathers that shine like silver and gold, eyes that sparkle like crystals, and is usually seen sitting on a golden perch.
At midnight, the Firebird visits gardens and fields and illuminates the night as brightly as a thousand lights.
When the Firebird sings, pearls fall from its beak.
The Firebird’s chants can heal the sick and return vision to the blind.
