Peacock.<BR>There is evidence that the Phoenicians introduced peacocks to the Egyptian pharaoh, perhaps as early as the time of King Solomon. It is possible that Solomon's trade expeditions ranged as far as India, where the peacock is native. The peacock was also well known to the Greeks and Romans.<BR>In the early Christian church the peacock became a symbol of the immortality promised in the resurrection of Christ. In addition, the eyes of its tail came to represent the all-seeing eye of God.
