The white dove carrying the branch is a symbol of the Salvator (Salvador). It was devised in 1549 by the founder of the city, Tomé de Sousa and represents the place where the Portuguese could settle in the new land, in analogy to the passage of the Bible where Noah releases a dove to find land, and she returned with an olive branch in the beak, signaling that the new found land land was fertile. | The white dove carrying the branch is a symbol of the Salvator (Salvador).
