Why a Vineyard?
There are many images and symbols attached to a vineyard. It is a place where grapes are grown, tended to, lifted up and cleansed so they can bear a more bountiful harvest. A vineyard is a place of labor for the making of sweet wine. Perhaps the most significant association with the vine comes from Chapter 15 of the Gospel of John:
Remain united in me, and I will remain united to you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself; it can do so only if it remains in the vine. In the same way, you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me.
I am the vine, you are the branches Whoever remains in me, and I in him, will bear much fruit; for you can do nothing without me.
