Nazareth – While we have talked about the fact that prophets foretelling a coming Messiah said he would come from Nazareth, it's worth noting that it wasn’t a place held in very high esteem. It was far more of a ghetto than, say, Jerusalem, where one might expect a Messiah to come from. So this is another indication that Jesus is, and will be, a people's Messiah more than he is a saviour for the wealthy and powerful.
Holy Spirit - The fancy way to describe the Holy Spirit is as one of the three persons of the triune God-head. If you're more confused than impressed by all that, basically it means that God is expressed in three ways (God-Jesus-Holy Spirit), and that He is one of them. So when you see a dove depicted in sacred art, it's usually meant to illustrate the presence of the Holy Spirit.
