About The Dove
Of all the creatures in Scripture, the dove carries the most tender weight. When the floodwaters began to recede, Noah opened the window of the ark and sent out a dove; the second time it returned with a fresh olive branch in its beak, the first whisper of dry land and renewed life. Centuries later, as Jesus rose from the Jordan River after his baptism, the Spirit descended upon him in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, a moment still painted, illuminated, and quietly cherished across every tradition that holds that story dear.
