Thanks, Temi, for your excellent clarification of the sense of freedom – and perhaps courage – that the disciples were given when they received the Holy Spirit.

What about the other symbols for the Holy Spirit (you can see them by pressing the forward arrow)?

I think the symbol of the dove symbolises that the holy spirit brings peace and tranquility.In the old testament after the flood, Noah sent a dove to see if the flood was over.The dove brings peace just like the holy spirit does. It could also symbolise freedom, when a bird i.e a dove flys it is because of freedom. After the holy came upon the discliples they were free to go forth and proclaim the word of GOD which is why the image of a dove would be a good representation of the holy spirit.

I like that idea that the dove could also represent freedom as well as peace … What freedom does being a Christian give someone?

i think the pigeon represents freedom and peace..and the flames represent the love that
God has 4 us.
