Holy Trinity Icon 009-P

The sacred icon of the Holy Trinity is inspired by the visitation of the Lord to Abraham in Genesis 18:1-15, known as "The Hospitality of Abraham." In the icon, the angels represent the Persons of the Holy Trinity, with God the Father on the left, God the Son at the center, and God the Holy Spirit on the right. The surrounding symbols include palaces, representing God's house, a tree symbolizing the Tree of Life and the Life-Giving Cross, and a mountain symbolizing spiritual aspiration. The figures of the two extreme Angles form a cup that emphasizes the sacrificial nature of Christ's offering on the Cross for the sins of the world.

Holy Trinity icon reflects the artistry of lacquered icons workshop, where we create folding icons, crosses, and various-sized icons.

The creation process begins with preparing wooden boards, which are cut into smaller panels and smoothed into refined oval shapes. These panels are transformed into polished lamellas that are then glued together to form a solid base. After selecting and laminating images stored for this purpose, artisans fit these images to the panels, cutting and verifying their symmetry before applying special glue to secure them. A final polish enhances durability and aesthetics.

Once the icons are fully dried, they undergo a blessing ritual, with a stamp of authenticity from the convent placed on the back. Each lacquered icon, crafted through this meticulous process, serves as thoughtful gift, or as part of your prayer corner.
