Orthodox Trinity Icon “The Fatherhood” – New Testament Holy Trinity - Wooden icon Christian artwork
This Orthodox icon is a high-quality replica of the New Testament Trinity Icon “The Fatherhood” from the 19th century, originally created in the famous Palekh iconography workshop in Russia. Printed on a solid wooden board, this reproduction preserves the intricate details and deep spiritual meaning of the original.
The composition features God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit, depicted within a green oval (symbolizing the Heavenly Host) and a red square, representing the Four Evangelists through their traditional symbols:
• Angel (Matthew) – Christ’s humanity
• Lion (Mark) – Christ’s royal power
• Ox (Luke) – Christ’s sacrificial mission
• Eagle (John) – Christ’s divine nature
What makes this icon unique?
Unlike traditional depictions of the Holy Trinity, this composition visually emphasizes God the Father enthroned, with Christ in His bosom, symbolizing their unity, while the Holy Spirit is represented in the radiance. Such an image is rare in Orthodox iconography and reflects the influence of Western Christian art on Russian religious painting.
Palekh Iconography Tradition:
The town of Palekh (Vladimir region, Russia) is world-renowned for its exquisite icon painting, characterized by fine detailing, vibrant colors, and gold accents. Iconographers from Palekh were praised for their delicate brushwork and deep spiritual symbolism, which later influenced the famous Palekh lacquer miniature art.
Perfect for:
• Orthodox Christian believers and collectors
• A meaningful gift for religious occasions
• Home iconostasis or prayer corner
• Those who appreciate Russian iconography
