LINK From its petals resembling doves, the columbine has been adopted as an emblem of the Holy Spirit. The red columbine has been used especially for this purpose since its red spurs resemble also the tongues of flame with which the Holy Ghost descended upon the apostles at Pentecost. In paintings of the Madonna and in Mary Gardens the columbine recalls that Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit, of whom she is also the dwelling place or temple, according to the words of the angel: "And the Holy Spirit shall come upon thee." |
  Catholic and proud of it! Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards | |
