The
Dove As a Christian symbol it was frequently used in ancient
ecclesiastical art. As a symbol of the Holy Spirit it
appears especially in representations of Our Lord
symbolizing inspiration or rather Divine guidance. (Matthew
3: 16)
Matthew 3: 16 “After Jesus was baptized, he came up
from the water and behold, the heavens were opened (for
him), and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
(and) coming upon him”.
