Product Details Size: 8.5 by 11 inches Parchment-style printed paper Features the dove with a printed prayer By AzureGreen Sold as a single print, unframed About the Dove in Folk Symbolism Few birds carry as gentle a reputation as the dove. A symbol of peace across many cultures, it appears in scripture and myth as a bearer of hope, a sign of reconciliation, and an emblem of love and the spirit. Its soft call and pale form made it a natural figure for tenderness, devotion, and the calm after a storm, and it remains one of the most enduring symbols of peace and gentle hope. A prayer print like this one is a way to keep that symbolism close. Some hang it over a desk or altar as a reminder of peace; others include it in a space dedicated to animal spirits or nature work. How you read it is up to you and your own path; the print simply holds the image and the words for you. How to Display the Dove Prayer Poster Choose a spot where you will see it: above an altar or desk, on a wall, or propped where you keep meaningful things. Frame it in a standard 8.5 by 11 inch frame to protect the paper, or pin or tack it directly if you prefer an unframed look. Keep it out of direct sun and away from damp so the parchment-style paper and print stay crisp. If it suits your practice, read the printed prayer aloud when you set up the space, or simply let the image stand as a daily reminder.
