History: This stamp is titled "Dove Facing Left". White doves are often released at weddings as an offering of hope for the future of the newlyweds. Most goddesses in Greek mythology are depicted with doves, and many religions still view the dove as a symbol of love and peace. According to the biblical story, a dove was released by Noah after the flood in order to find land. It came back carrying an olive branch in its beak, letting him know that there was land. Throughout history, the dove has been an international sign of peace, as well as love and devotion to one another.
