Description Jesus in a text of the Gospels - the one depicted in the icon - is referred to Himself as the Grapevine and his disciples, the Apostles as the fruit of the grapevine that will grow, spread and multiply. An inspiration for the creation of the Grapevine is the image of the famous hagiographer of the Cretan School, Strelitzass-Bathas Theofanis. The project exemplifies the style of the Byzantine art.

On the moving leaves of the triptych, St. Demetrius and St. George are depicted on the top and Archangel Michael and St. John at the bottom, with the same brushwork as the central image.

Triptych of silkscreen icons coated with pure silver, locally gilded.
