The Sheaf of Wheat ... Symbol of Christian Faith

The seeds of faith are sown in the human
personality and grow into the
mature faith of the Christian man or woman.

The sown seed must lose its life in order that
it may develop and grow and multiply.
So symbolically, a sheaf of wheat is used by
Christians to make the passing of
a fellow Christian.

Death is not the end
but the beginning of life eternal.

The mature grain in the sheaf is the direct symbol
 of the Resurrection  - the life beyond the grave,
the fulfillment of the promise of Jesus Christ.
