Icon of The Old Testament Trinity or Hospitality of Abraham


God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit are depicted as three Angels.

This reading from Genesis is the story commonly known as “The Hospitality of Abraham.” In this account, three angels appear to Abraham and Sarah. They treat their visitors with great reverence, and prepare a meal for them. What Abraham and Sarah offer is, in Greek, “philoxenia,” which means love for the stranger or “hospitality.”

The unity of the three hypostases of the Holy Trinity is a perfect prototype of all unity and love — "Let all be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, so let them be one in Us" (John 17:21).

 

The icon is made by printing on a wooden board. Paints are mineral, do not fade with time. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The board is covered with primer by hand. The image is covered with wax. Each icon has a metal mount on the back side so that you can hang the icon on the wall.

You can buy the icon in three sizes:

  • 13 х 10 centimeters (5,1 x 3,9 inches)
  • 19 х 15 centimeters (7,5 x 5,9 inches)
  • 26 х 21 centimeters (10,2 x 8,3 inches)

Our icons are made by Orthodox craftsmen. You can read more about the technology here.

We hope it will be a good gift for you and your loved ones.
