This is because the Holy Spirit took the form of a dove when Jesus Christ was baptized:-
Mat 3:16-17 KJV And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: [v. 17] And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
In Christianity the cross is a symbol for Jesus and the dove is a symbol for the Holy Spirit.
There are many different symbols in Christianity. The fish is a very important symbol that started at the beginning of Christianity. It was a symbol used by hidden Christians to find other hidden Christians (because being a Christian was illegal and could result in death). They would draw one half of the fish and the other person would draw the other half if they were a Christian.The cross is also a big symbol in Christianity. It is an obvious symbol because it was the way Christ died.The dove is also a symbol. When Christ was baptised, God came to Earth in the form of a dove.
The olive tree or branch is a symbol of peace in Christianity, especially associated with a dove. In the days of Noah and his ark, a dove was sent out to find dry land, and it returned with an olive branch as proof that the waters were receding.
In Greek mythology, the dove is a symbol of the goddess Aphrodite. However, normally, a white dove is considered a symbol of peace.
