Very truly I tell you,
unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies,
it remains just a single grain;
but if it dies it bears much fruit.
Whoever serves me must follow me,
and where I am, there will my servant be also.
Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.
Inspired by Jesus’ words in John 12, this funeral pall was commissioned by a church whose building stands in the midst of wheat fields.

It was fashioned from ivory satin and embellished with a commercial tapestry braid that features grapes and wheat. It was embellished with improvisational stitching.
