DOVE - SYMBOL OF PEACE

The dove has been a symbol of peace for

centuries, from the Greek and Romans, through Christianity and into the modern day.

Doves have been used by artists for a long

time to represent peace and hope in paintings and have also been used for logos, for example, International Peace Day.

It is the purity of the white colour of the

dove that has lent a sense of freedom; they are the universal symbol of peace, humanity, and love.

DOVE - SYMBOL OF PEACE

In Christianity the dove has represented

the Holy Spirit and the peace of God.

In the bible the dove appeared in the sky

when Jesus was baptised in the River Jordan.

Now the dove can mean peace and hope

to people all around the world, from many different backgrounds and cultures.

20,000 Doves at Lichfield Cathedral

The doves are very simple to

assemble, but we would also like each one to be personalised with a message, or prayer or drawing related to peace.

These are examples of how simple

the dove can be decorated, but you can decorate them in any way you like, as colourfully as you like, although we recommend without glitter!
