Holy Spirit Flame Dove

myminifactory

This design has been around for approximately 50 years, and I've taken its essence to create wood carvings as thoughtful gifts. It makes an excellent keychain item or fridge magnet, and can also serve as a treasured keepsake. This design represents the Holy Spirit as a descending dove that gently settled upon Jesus after his baptism in water. At the same time, it bears a striking resemblance to a tongue of flame that appeared before 120 followers of Jesus gathered in an upper room. (The references can be found in the New Testament of the Bible.) If you view this design from a different angle, you'll notice its uncanny similarity to an angel fish. I've successfully adapted these designs into various materials, including leather. The one featured here was designed using Tinkercad. To offer more versatility, I've included a file with a hole, making it suitable for use as a pendant. By reducing the thickness by half and printing two versions – one in red and one in white – then gluing them together, I achieved an attractive color effect.
