Artist Notes:

The early Christians in Rome incorporated into their funerary art the image of a dove carrying an olive branch, often accompanied by the word "Peace". It seems that they derived this image from the simile in the Gospels, combining it with the symbol of the olive branch, which had been used to represent peace by the Greeks and Romans. The dove and olive branch also appeared in Christian images of Noah's ark. Wish your wonderful niece and her partner Happy Easter with a card featuring a cross with a purple cloth and beautiful white doves on a purple-flowered background.
