NO.27 Fig, Pomegranate, And Lemon Trees
I
t is late autumn.
A year has passed since the project was formed to plant fruit-bearing
trees in
Prayer House of the Water Brooks
.
At last the time has come.
The pomegranate tree is a commemorative tree for newly-weds.
Here are two couples who married this Easter
at
Prayer House of the Water Brooks
.
Pomegranate trees are often mentioned in the bible.
Those ... those scouts who were sent out by Moses brought back
not only grapes, but also
pomegranates
and
figs
.
Did you know that?
I can hear you saying, "Really?"
Read the bibile carefully.
Yes, pomegranates and figs.
Look at the article <Figs> in "OH〜! BIBLICAL DAY".
I'm sure you will be impressed.
(It may be a little hard to understand.)
We also planted a lemon tree.
But one of our church sisters said,
"Lemon trees die if the aren't planted somewhere warm."
What? Why did we plant a lemon tree?
(The fruit of the beautiful trees in Leviticus 23:40 --- Wild lemons)
We will use it for Feast of Tabernacle.
Of course, we have also planted olive and myrtle trees
in
Prayer House of the Water Brooks
.
