A '''Dove''' is a kosher bird. It does not eat carrion, and is known for its style of flight, the beating of its wings, its call, and its peaceful nature. A dove returned with an olive branch to Noah in the Ark after the flood (this is a common symbol of peace after judgement) and the dove was a sacrifice animal for the poor (and was offered by Joseph and Mary after the birth of Jesus). The [[Holy Spirit]] also took the form of a dove when it descended on Jesus at his baptism on the Jordan River. | A '''Dove''' is a kosher bird.
