Animals in the Bible - The Dove




The Dove!
It's one of the most amazing animals in the Bible! Doves are mentioned in many places in Scripture. But for today... the first place. That's Genesis 8 when Noah (yeah, of the ark and flood fame) sent one out to find dry land.


Here Noah is getting ready to let the dove fly from the ark!
(This is from a super old mosaic in San Marco church in Venice, Italy. Dad told me it was made in the 1200s!)
Cool, huh?
More about doves next week!
