These two stained Cinderellas of the D.D.R. promote "Peace Week 1954" in Leipzig. They show the "Picasso Dove" which was adopted as the symbol of peace for the communist world.  |

The Greenland stamp of 2019 shows both the Peace Dove and the Mail Pigeon. Note the UPU and UN combined logo, 50 years. Artwork by Miki Jacobsen.  (Nice addition Bookbob!) |

A Peace Dove (or perhaps a mail pigeon because it's an airmail stamp) and a daisy on a stamp with the double-barred cross representing the fight against tuberculosis. Yesterday was International Tuberculosis Day.  |

Bangladesh celebrates Victory Day on December 16th with six peace doves and a rising sun. In 1971 the country achieved its independence and was no longer East Pakistan but Bangladesh.  |

It has been neary 2 years since the last post was added on this thread - this world have been experiencing wars in many places all the time, but we did not watch a vast volume of military invasion by a country with power and infringement of human rights for a while. And it is happening now. This is a tiny pray and objection/protest, but an action is better than nothing, I hope. Switzerland 16 May 1995 "EUROPA - Peace and Freedom" design: H. Erni / embossed  |

Turkey 1983  I am guessing the rainbow is symbol of peace, together with the Dove. And the envelope and the light-blue knot symbol are about communication? I don't have catalogue to check Turkish stamps. It would be great if someone tells me what this stamp is commemorating. |

The current war is not caused by hunger - in fact very opposite. Tunisia 1963 / Against Hunger  |

And the envelope and the light-blue knot symbol are about communication Buddhism. The inter-twining of wisdom and compassion. Endless knot icon Buddhism. Various Buddhist interpretations of the symbol are: The endless knot iconography symbolised Samsara i.e., the endless cycle of suffering of birth, death and rebirth within Tibetan Buddhism. |

Endless knot in relation to Tibetan Buddhism. I remember that similar icon appears to the human right themed stamps... Thank you, rod222 for your analyse! The next one is... I am not sure if this white bird is Dove or not, but certainly symbol of peace. Then featuring together with Red Cross stamp issued on the same day.

The dictator's invasion is still moving on... and it is scary to notice that we are getting used to the news of war after 2 weeks. No, it should not be with us long, Ukraine should not be destroyed. Ghana 1961 / Conference of non-aligned countries, Belgrade September 1961  |

A month since the recent invasion to Ukraine started. A beautiful city Kiev, which is as old as this stamp's Prague, is bombed badly, harsh to watch but we have to witness. Both cities' history goes back to 5th century BC. Czechoslovakia 19 May 1958 / National Exhibition of Archive Documents / Praha in 1628 / design & engrave: J. Svengsbir  |

Kiev & Prague - both cities' history goes back to 5th century BC I have to correct this - not 5th century BC, but 5th century AD is correct! |
