he symbol originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement is now widely used.
The internationally known symbol for peace was originally designed in 1958 for the British nuclear disarmament movement by Gerald Holtom.
The symbol is a combination of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for "nuclear disarmament". In semaphore the letter "N" is formed by a person holding two flags in an inverted "V," and the letter "D" is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down. Superimposing these two signs forms the shape of the centre of the peace symbol. peace symbols have been used many ways in various cultures and contexts. The dove and olive branch were used symbolically by Jews and early Christians and then eventually became a secular peace symbol, popularized by Pablo Picasso after the Second World War.
The story of Noah in the Torah ends with a passage describing a dove bringing a freshly plucked olive leaf (Hebrew: עלה זית alay zayit),[Gen 8:11] a sign of life after the Flood and of God's bringing Noah, his family and the animals to land. Rabbinic literature interpreted the olive leaf as "the young shoots of the Land of Israel" or the dove's preference for bitter food in God's service, rather than sweet food in the service of men. Christians adopted Noah's dove and olive leaf as symbols of peace although Jews had never given them that meaning.

“No peace among the nations without peace among the religions.
No peace among the religions without dialogue between the religion
No dialogue between the religions without investigation of the foundation of the religions.”
Peace is not only important to social but also for the religion.
