89. ANIMAL
• WHY IS A DOVE USED TO REPRESENT PEACE?

90. 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.
