Christ "The True Vine" Orthodox Icon
“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He
cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes
the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain
in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if
it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you
remain in me." John 15:1-4
This icon has further allegory to Eucharistic themes, especially the Savior's words, "My flesh is real food and My blood is real drink." John 6:55
