message: Doves are the symbolic animal of Hachiman, the Shinto god of war. I'm afraid I don't know much more about him than that (I wonder whether he has influence from the Hindu Hanuman or whether it's just a similarity in names and roles, but that's OT here) -- so I'm not sure whether it would be worth it to just add a single line like that.

thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:TCWCrest.gif

message: I have made a couple of deletions under this heading. It is a common misconception that the dove and olive branch in the story of Noah represent peace, but neither the dove nor the olive branch are mentioned anywhere in either the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament in connection with peace.  The symbolism of the dove in the Hebrew Bible (e.g. Psalms, but elsewhere too) is varied and complex. In Matthew's Gospel the dove is a simile of the Holy Spirit that descended on Jesus during his baptism. The olive branch as a peace symbol is pagan, associated with the goddess Eirene or Pax.   This symbol was combined with the dove in early Christian art in the Roman Catacombs alongside explicit references to peace (ειρήνή or pace).  This is discussed in more detail, with references, under Peace symbols  I do wish people would do a bit of research before writing Wikipedia articles from the first thing that comes into their heads!
