Here is another depiction of the grapevine, with ripened fruit sitting before the white background of the communion wafer (host). They are surrounded by blues and browns depicting the gifts of earth and water providing and sustaining the gifts from God before they are given back to God in the Lord’s Supper.

For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.“ In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. —1 Corinthians 11:23-26
