Dove of Peace

So with the word for today being Peace I decided that it was time to share a picture of this steel sculpture. The Dove of Peace was built in honor of the visit made by Pope John Paul II to Edmonton back in 1984. Located in the river valley this has become an iconic landmark and is a reminder to all of us of the Scripture verse. That as much as it depends on us to live at peace with one another
