In the background one can faintly see a hill, tree and house. Some say the hill represents the journey & trials of life; the tree symbolizes the life that comes from the death and sacrifice of the journey; and the house…the house of the father waiting for prodigals to return! You might also notice that each person of the Godhead has a staff. Though they don’t need to walk. They join us in the journey.
