Doves are birds who mate for life and are extremely loyal. They raise their young with great care and dedication. They build their nests in areas near human settlements. This has given people the opportunity to witness the immense love, care, and loyalty displayed by white doves. They are harmless birds and feed on fruits, plants, and seeds. Over the centuries peoples of all nationalities have associated doves with peace, love, and dedication.
Of course, one of the most well-known mentions of doves—and the origin of the dove and the olive branch—is from the Bible. Doves are mentioned many times in the ancient book, from the baptism of Jesus to after the flood, when Noah sent out a dove and it returned with an olive branch (a sign of dry land nearby). Further, the dove is the symbol of the ‘Holy Spirit’ during the Baptism of Jesus Christ. As such, a dove came to represent peace with God, innocence, and purity.
