The title borrows a line from the Lord's Prayer, asking for "our daily bread," and pairs that familiar petition with the plant world that feeds it. For centuries, rural communities across Europe and North America depended on grain such as wheat and rye, so faith and farming were closely tied in daily life. Artists often used titles like this to present ordinary agricultural work as something worthy of reverence.
