The icon is called "The Visitation" and it represents the Holy Theotokos (the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, in blue) visiting her kinswoman Elizabeth (in red), the mother of John the Baptist. You can find more information here. We believe it is an apropos representation of how we are sisters, bound together by Christ first and foremost but also bound by our children, the commonality of motherhood and our striving to love our children as Christ loves us and treat them accordingly.

We also feel the colors of the icon represent the vibrant life that we all want to live, fill our homes with and pass on to our children.
