THE HISTORY:
On of the most well-known mentions of doves--and the origin of a dove carrying an olive branch--comes from the Bible. Doves are mentioned many times in the scriptures, from the baptism of Jesus to after the flood, when Noah sent out a dove and it returned with an olive branch (a long awaited symbol that dry land was nearby). The dove has come to represent peace with God, innocence, and purity.
