Theological / Devotional

Fruitful vine. The fruitfulness, gracefulness, and dependence for support of the vine is a fitting symbol of the loyal wife and mother in the home.

Olive plants. The Hebrews considered the vine and the olive among earth’s choicest fruits. So a noble wife and dutiful children are the greatest gifts that a man can possess on this earth.
