Definition: "SVD" is a biblical term for "Shepherd's Dwelling," which is a temporary structure often used by Jesus to shepherd his followers as they journeyed through the wilderness. The precise meaning can vary, but it generally refers to a place where Jesus and his disciples would have stayed during their time in the desert, under the care of a savior like himself. This dwelling was built to serve as a symbol of God's presence among his people and to guide them through the wilderness journey.
