Description
This icon depicts Christ as the True Vine, the name He gives Himself in his final discourse in the Upper Room before his Betrayal. In John 15:5, Christ said to the gathered Apostles, "I am the Vine, you are the branches." This icon depicts this saying literally, illustrating the reality of the Apostles’ union to Christ, the identity of all of Christ’s faithful.
This icon is a perfect gift for a chrismation, baptism, or ordination and makes a wonderful gift for any home prayer corner.

Windows into heaven
I am a Roman Catholic and I pray with and through icons. The first time I encountered icons, I was on retreat. I bought a few icons and had my husband put them up, and I exclaimed: "These are windows into heaven!" I now have many reproductions of icons, and one written icon. This "I am the Vine" icon is truly in a class by itself. It visually calls out to follow the Lord. The colors are vivid and the figures are meticulously drawn. The icon wonderfully reflects what Christ said, "I am the vine, and you are the branches." Visually, He seamlessly flows out of the Tree of Life. Each branch leads to, and wraps around, an Apostle, creating the sense each Apostle is the fruit of that branch, and, by extension, of Christ. The strong roots of the Tree/Christ nourish the fruit/Apostles, as Christ nourishes us, and is the source of our life. The image beautifully conveys we cannot live without Him. Physically, the icon is extremely well made, from high quality wood. It is impeccably finished, with vibrant colors. I am thrilled with this icon, and I've already bought additional copies to give as gifts. I am so happy to have discovered this site.

Beautiful Icon!!!
This is an incredibly beautiful icon of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Disciples. We ordered it to display during the Fast of the Apostles. Great quality product as usual and wonderfully written icon. My big order was rushed, and Legacy Icons got it to me a day earlier than I asked for! What Great Service!

Peaceful and true
This is a lovely icon which reveals the sacred truth that the LORD GOD is our vine, and those who follow Him are the branches. The colors are vivid and the message clear. A wonderful choice indeed!

Beautiful
I received this icon less than a week after ordering it. The colors are not quite as vibrant as the picture on the website but not far off! We love it and surround it with our christmas cards each year.
