This rich and symbolic hand-painted icon portrays Christ as the True Vine, an image drawn from His words in the Gospel of John: “I am the vine; you are the branches” (John 15:5). Painted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and illuminated with authentic 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood.
At the center is Christ, often shown seated in glory or blessing, with the Apostles branching out like leaves and fruit-bearing extensions of the Vine. This icon powerfully represents the unity of the Church in Christ, the source of all life, nourishment, and spiritual fruitfulness.
It is a reminder that abiding in Christ leads to true communion, growth, and eternal life. A profound theological image and a beautiful visual teaching, this icon is ideal for personal devotion or liturgical spaces.
