The traditional emblem found in all Transylvanian Unitarian churches is a dove on a mountain top encircled by a serpent, with a crown on top. The symbolic meaning comes from the bible: in Matthew 10:16, Jesus says to his disciples: “Behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”partnerchurchdove
