The dove symbolizes peace and the Holy Spirit, reflecting Saint Benedict's devotion to prayer and contemplation. The beehive represents community and hard work, values that were important in his monastic rule. Books symbolize knowledge and learning, highlighting the importance of study and reflection in Benedictine monastic life.
