What do the dove of peace and the olive branch mean?
Pigeons and olive branches symbolize peace.

************************************

1945 10 In June, the United Nations was formally established. Its emblem pattern is to set off the whole earth with two olive branches, which means to fight for world peace. Five years later, in order to commemorate the world peace conference held by socialist countries in Warsaw, the Spanish master Picasso waved his hand and drew a pigeon with its head held high and its wings spread. The famous Chilean poet Nie Luda called it "the dove of peace".

Why do olive branches and pigeons become symbols of world peace?

This stems from an ancient myth: in ancient times, God, the master of human destiny, was so angry that he decided to flood them all, but Noah and his wife, who were proved to be the only good people, were preserved. To this end, God sent an angel to inform Noah and his wife to prepare a square wooden boat and choose a pair of birds and animals to take to the boat to avoid disaster. This is the well-known story of the flood and Noah's Ark. Later, the flood that swallowed everything gradually subsided. In order to know whether the flood subsided, Noah deliberately released a pigeon and flew out of the boat to inquire. Pigeons flew back to the ark with green olive branches and reported good news: the flood has receded, the day of peace is coming, and life in the world has begun a new turning point!

This legend is recorded in the Bible, but it has been constantly improved from the publication of this book before the era to the birth of the olive branch pigeon pattern in the17th century. /kloc-During the Reformation in Germany and Europe in the 6th century, pigeons became the embodiment of the Holy Spirit. Lucas, a Protestant, said, "When Jesus was praying, heaven suddenly opened and the Holy Spirit became a dove and flew to him." In a painting by Diu Lei, the most important German oil painter and printmaker in the Renaissance, there is a white dove on the head of the Virgin Mary as the embodiment of the Holy Spirit, which is the close connection between Diu Lei and the people around Martin Luther, the leader of the Reformation. At the same time, pigeons symbolizing fate often appeared on Martin Luther's head in his paintings. 17 In the1920s, an international war broke out in Europe, with Germany as the main battlefield. The 30-year-long war has caused unprecedented serious social and economic losses to Germany. People suffering from disasters yearn for a peaceful life and find that the so-called dispute between Protestantism and old religion is just an excuse for rulers to wage war. As a result, pigeons, as carriers of the Holy Spirit, began to act as messengers of peace. At that time, every free city in the German Empire issued a set of commemorative coins. The design is a pigeon with an olive branch in its mouth, and the inscription "Holy dove bless peace" is engraved on the bottom. Since then, the olive branch and the dove have become recognized symbols of peace in the world. Of course, this is only in a religious sense. /kloc-In the late 8th century, Schiller, a famous German playwright and poet, further introduced this symbol from religion to politics. In the preface of his masterpiece The Girl of Orleans, he asked Joan of Arc, a French national heroine, to solemnly declare: "Miracles will appear-pigeons will take off, and she will walk with the courage of eagles to the hundreds of vultures that ravaged our motherland!" This is a new meaning that the dove adds to the peace that needs to be won and maintained through struggle. It is no longer a holy pigeon without resistance.
