Ampelos

Regular price $270.00

The Ampelos is an iconic representation of the following verse from the Gospel of John: "I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abides in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit; for without me, you can do nothing." -John 15:5. All twelve of Christ's Disciples are seated in the branches of the vine around Christ, Who is in the center. Above Christ, you can also see the Holy Spirit and God the Father depicted, completing the Holy Trinity.

This icon is made of solid, natural limewood (Tilia) that has been prepared by hand using traditional methods and organic materials. The background consists of 22 Karat gold leaves that were meticulously applied by hand, piece by piece.

All of our icons are reproduced according to museum print standards and are authentic replicas of Holy Icons from Mount Athos and elsewhere.
