Vassula Ryden painted the originals in the summer of 2009 just before the True Life in God Ecumenical pilgrimage. The paintings were raffled in order to help subsidize the costs of some of the clergy that were present for the special occasion. Vassula does not receive any earnings on the sales of the prints being sold below. The proceeds are to help the Rhodes (Greece) prayer group raise funds for retreats, gatherings and to help the Mission of True Life in God.
