Authentic icon "Old Testament Trinity"

Authentic icon "Old Testament Trinity" (Hospitality of Abraham and Sarah)

There are two types of images of the Holy Trinity - New Testament and Old Testament. The Old Testament trinity is the image of the unknown travelers, angels who came to the forefather of the Israelite family - Abraham. The biblical story tells that before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of evil and sins, he sent angels to warn the righteous Abraham and Sarah. God promised the elderly Abram and Sarah that their long-awaited son would be born, as it happened.

On the icons, the angels are usually depicted next to a small oak - known throughout the world as Abraham's oak. In Christian theology (theology) God is one being who exists simultaneously and eternally as three persons (God the Father, God the Word, paid in Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit), which together are the Holy Trinity.

The icon is created using materials and paints according to the original technology for making of Orthodox icons. Gold leaf, patina, and cracking varnish were used, to make the icon look even more authentic. The icon is painted with egg tempera paint, as per the traditional technology for icon painting.The reliefs are handmade using old Byzantine technology.

This lovely work of art is signed by the artist, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
