Everything about The Sceptre With The Dove totally explained
The
Sceptre with the Dove, also known as the Rod with the Dove or the Rod of Equity and Mercy, is a
sceptre of the
British Crown Jewels. It was originally made for the
coronation of
King Charles II in
1661. Its design included a gold rod with bands of gemstones, surmounted by a sphere and an enamelled
dove, representing the
Holy Ghost.
The Sceptre with the Dove symbolises the spiritual authority of the Monarch under the Cross. The
Sceptre with the Cross, another sceptre in the Crown Jewels, represents temporal or lay authority. During the coronation, the Monarch holds the Sceptre with the Dove in the left hand and the Sceptre with the Cross in the right while the
Archbishop of Canterbury places
St Edward's Crown on his or her head.
The Sceptre with the Dove, and the other Crown Jewels, may be found on display at Jewel House in the
Tower of London.
