Pomegranates: The symbolism behind this exotic fruit

As I cut this pomegranate, the redness of the juice and the arils made me think of one thing... Jesus' blood as he was being crucified and as I am posting these photos... strangely enough his picture pops up on the right side of my Wall... Here's some interesting information about the health benefits of pomegranates and the symbolism behind this exotic fruit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate

Exodus 28: 31-35                                                                            

“Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth, with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar[c] around this opening, so that it will not tear. Make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them. The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe. Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the LORD and when he comes out, so that he will not die.
