ANIMAL

• WHY IS A DOVE USED TO REPRESENT PEACE?

ANSWER

• Because it is the symbol of the Holy Spirt and in the story of Noah's Ark noah let a dove out of the ark to see if the waters supsided and it brought back an olive branch.

• The Dove is one animal in the world that doesn't kill for food and is fully submissive, even when attacked by other animals, it doesn't retalliate.

• The use of the dove as a symbol of peace predates any Christian usage.

• The dove was a symbol of peace and long life to the ancient Chinese.

• The ancient Egyptians held the dove to symbolize quiet innocence.• These two examples and a number of other references across a

number of other cultures all go further back than the use by Christians.
