Christ the Vine is a tempera painting created by Greek painter Angelos.

People often assume because there are twelve figures on the vine surrounding Christ that the original apostles were represented.

[4] The second portable icon is located at Iera Moni Panagias Exakoustis, Ierapetra, Crete close to Malles.

Peter sits with an open book to our left at the highest point in the tree.

The divine figure of Christ Pantokrator is painted in the traditional Italian-Greek Byzantine style.

The central figure exhibits the typical ecclesiastical hand gesture.

Thaddeus or Jude is to our left directly below Saint Mark and John the Evangelist.

The final two apostles at the lowest point in the tree from left to right are Thomas and Philip.

Angelo's work was copied by numerous artists both Greek and Italian.

In Leos Moskos's version of Christ the Vine, Saint Peter holds the Keys of Heaven in his left hand.

Victor added God himself, and the white dove to his version of Christ the Vine.
