The symbol commonly associated with peace is the "Dove with an Olive Branch." The dove has long been regarded as a symbol of peace due to its gentle nature and its appearance in various religious and cultural traditions.

In Christian symbolism, the dove represents the Holy Spirit and is associated with peace, purity, and hope. The olive branch is often depicted with the dove as a universal symbol of peace and reconciliation, originating from the biblical story of Noah's Ark, where a dove returned to the ark carrying an olive leaf, signaling the end of the flood and the restoration of peace.

The combination of the dove and the olive branch has become an internationally recognized symbol representing the desire for peace, harmony, and unity.
