From the Artist:

“If we associate the vineyard owner with God, who chooses to pay all workers a daily wage no matter the hours they worked, this parable makes a strong case for a universal living wage. These workers are not seen as hours of labor, but as people. The hours they work may be different, but their needs are the same. And so the vineyard owner pays them, not according to their economic value, but their human worth.

Yet the worker who has labored a full day turns up his nose at the regular daily wage. Is it because the daily wage is not sufficient to live on? Is it out of jealousy that the other workers receive the same daily wage having worked less hours? Is it the one small act of protest he can make in an economic system that has him trapped?

This scene is contained within a chalice, a symbol not only of the wine they have labored to make, but of holy communion. Communion is a ritual in which we affirm the belovedness of all people, the first and the last, the self-righteous and the humble, the employed and the unemployed. I have given them all halos, for they all carry the Divine Presence within them. God’s grace is not given in measure to our economic value, our hard work, or our humility. It is given equally to all.”
