To: Hebrews 11:6

In some paintings we see two turtledoves (or two young pigeons) gifted to the Temple by Mary and Joseph. The dove signifies purity and peace and, in this event, the offering meant the end of Mary’s purification time after the birth, in accordance with the law of Moses.

I was glad those artists included those. Thanks for adding this explanation.
