Gallic rooster

Its crowing at the dawning of each new morning made it a symbol of the daily victory of light over darkness and the triumph of good over evil.It is also an emblem of the Christian's attitude of watchfulness and readiness for the sudden return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment of humankind.That is why, during the Renaissance, the rooster became a symbol of France as a Catholic state and became a popular Christian image on weather vanes, also known as weathercocks.[citation needed] The popularity of the Gallic rooster as a national personification faded away until its resurgence during the French Revolution (1789).In France, the French onomatopoeia for the rooster crowing sound, "cocorico" (cock-a-doodle-doo), is sometimes used as an expression of national pride, sometimes ironically.
