Description
Bleeding heart dove. Legend of the dove :
When an arrogant soldier of Pontius Pilate plunged his spear into the side of Christ a cruel wound was exposed. Out of the Heavens flew a Dove and descending to the cross he brushed against the wound. The sacred Blood of the Savior stained a few feathers on the Dove's breast. From that day till now every Dove of this species carries this mark on it's breast.
