The dove is an emblem of peace

Today, I would like to introduce to you about dove that symbolizes peace. We all know that the dove symbolizes peace but have you wondered why?

The reason why the dove symbolizes peace is that it started from the event of Noah’s Ark from the Bible.

When you look at the story of Noah’s Ark, it says that God judged the world with a great flood. It lasted for a very long time and Noah could not know when the flood will end, so he used a dove. The reason is because doves have homing instinct. That is why he used this habit of returning home and sent a dove. It says that when he sent the first dove, it returned empty handed. When the second dove was sent, it brought with it a branch from the olive tree. Lastly, when he sent the third dove, it did not return. The dove became the symbolism of peace because of the story of Noah’s Ark wherein the dove brought back a branch, showed that the flood was over and the earth was showing, and symbolized that the disasters has ended and hope has came. Also, during the Olympic, the peace festival, people released the doves together from the stage of unity which even engraved more in people’s mind that the dove symbolizes peace.
