Chicken and Rooster Persian Symbols Charm

Chickens and roosters were bred about 4 thousand years ago, much later than other farm animals and birds. This is the great merit of the ancient Persians. It was in Persia that the cult of the rooster began to emerge. The rooster, along with the dog, was revered in those days: one guarded the house and the flock, the second was the messenger of morning, light and sun. Therefore, the rooster, which gets up and wakes up before everyone else, is protected from evil forces with its cry. On traditional Persian carpets, the rooster symbolizes protection from evil eyes.
