Local picture of the day
This poster, displayed in the porch of Holy Trinity Church, is a reproduction of The Trinity, a famous 15th century painting by Russian artist Andrei Rublev. It depicts the three angels who visited Abraham at the Oak of Mamre (Genesis 18:1–8), but the painting is full of symbolism and is interpreted as an icon of the Holy Trinity. At the time of Rublev, the Holy Trinity was the embodiment of spiritual unity, peace, harmony, mutual love and humility. Wikipedia
