   dove represent many different things:
   Spiritual Meaning of Dove  
   
   By a dove are signified the truths and goods of faith with him who is to be regenerated; and he sent forth a dove from him to see, signifies the state of receiving the truths and goods of faith; if the waters were abated, signifies falsities which impede; the faces of the ground, signifies the things which are in the man of the church; it is said ground because this is the first state when man becomes a church
   
   Symbolic Meaning of Doves
   Primary symbolic meaning of doves stem in ancient cultures due to their voices.  The dove’s cooing has lulled the ears of humanity for hundreds of years, and as such finds meanings such as comfort and reassurance.
   
   The Native American (Pueblo, specifically) believed that the cooing of the Dove could coax the rain from the skies.  In fact, they believed the appearance of the Dove was a sign of rain to come.  Or, if during a dry spell, the Pueblo believed the Dove would lead them to water.
   
   Other cultures such as the Ancient Celts, Picti, and Gauls believed the voice of the Dove was a mourning call.  When its cry was heard, this indicated a soul was passing from the earth in peace.
   
   The Slavs believed the Dove carried the souls of the deceased to heaven. Gypsy folklore believes that Doves are soft, subtle messengers - winging their messages of love to our hearts from the spirit world.
   
   In Christian traditions, the dove is considered a symbol of divinity as it is the representation of the Christ.  Also in ancient Christian lore the dove is considered a symbol for mother, specifically their virgin mother Mary.
   
   By far, my research has lead me to conclude that the primary symbolism of the Dove is that of patience and tenderness.   Their voice along with the soft hue of their bodies, and the tender glow of their eyes - all lead to thoughts of softness, tenderness and symbols of love.
   
   Please note that ultimately, symbolic interpretations are up to you to determine.  I can only give you traditional symbolism, cultural perceptions, and my own interpretations.
