Can You Guess? Where Is This in the Oratory?

In the Gospels, the dove is a typical symbol of the Holy Ghost, the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Ghost descended upon Him in the form of a dove. In Christian art, the dove is often used to portray the Holy Ghost, as in the descent of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost.
Where have you seen this particular dove at St. Francis de Sales? Please enter your answer in the comment section.

This is a part of the interior of the pulpit; the Holy Ghost is above the priest’s head as he delivers the sermon.
It is found inside and underneath on the wooden canopy above the pulpit.
I believe this is the ambo ceiling.
It is above the priest’s head in the pulpit
This symbol of the Holy Ghost can be found on the “ceiling” of the pulpit – truly the most appropriate place!
In the pulpit, on the ceiling within it.
I believe if you stand in the pulpit and look up you’ll see this dove?
