The dove is a symbol of purity, kind representation, tenderness and love.

In some traditions, the dove appears as a messenger of heaven and a symbol of the soul of the deceased. Thus, according to the belief of the Slavs, the soul of the deceased was transformed into the dove. Therefore, it was a sacrificial bird.

The dove of the ancient Jews acted as the messenger of the sky and the symbol of salvation. Its appearance with an olive branch in its beak above the Ark of Noah testified that the water was coming down from the surface of the earth and it was a sign of the onset of peace and renewal of life.

 

In China, a dove is a symbol of longevity and filial piety. In the East, the dove is a symbol of love and marriage. The dove depicted with a ring in its beak symbolizes the marriage.

The dove was worshiped in Egypt, where it was used as a bird of expedition. The white dove, as an adviser of Greek politicians, or as the winner of the Olympic Games, became the prototype of a peace dove with an olive branch in its beak, so it was represented to the world during the Games in Greece. (Look at Picasso’s dove, painted for the World Congress, the artist was reliving the ancient symbols) In Greek mythology, its happy flight has been interpreted as a good omen. Moreover, the Greeks took the dove as the bird of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.picasso-pablo-dove

In Christianity, the dove became a symbol of the Holy Spirit, when the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus' head during the ceremony of baptism it had the form of a dove.
