Legends tell that Alkonost lays eggs in the depths of the sea in the middle of winter (or during the winter solstice). At the same time, the eggs lie in the depths for 7 days, and then float to the surface. During this time, the sea is calm. Then Alkonost takes the eggs and hatches them on the shore. Sometimes people try to steal the Alkonost egg and place it in the church under the ceiling. The singing of the Alkonost is so beautiful that whoever hears it forgets about everything in the world. The legend of the Alkonost bird echoes the legend of the Sirin bird. A crown is usually depicted on the head of an Alkonost. According to the image on the Russian lubochnye paintings, the specifics of the Alkonost is the presence of a woman's breasts and hands, in one of which she holds a paradise flower or an unfolded scroll with the saying about the reward in paradise for a righteous life on earth. In the interpretation of Viktor Vasnetsov, the Alkonost acquires white plumage and becomes a bird-a messenger of joy and pleasure
