While it has no direct connection to Christianity, some people associate the flower with the idea of a heavenly paradise due to its exotic beauty and vibrant hues. Moreover, the bird of paradise is sometimes used as a metaphor for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This symbolism stems from the flower's unique shape, which resembles a bird emerging from its shell. Therefore, some Christians see the bird of paradise as a symbol of hope, new beginnings, and the triumph of life over death.
