TRINITY


June  3, 2012  Feast of the Holy Trinity - Quote for Today


"Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning 
                our song shall rise to Thee:
Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity."

Reginald Heber [1783-1826], Missionary Hymn, Holy Holy, Holy, [1827].

Icon on top: Trinity by Andrei Rublev [ 1360-c. 1427-30].  This famous icon can be seen in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. The icon is based on an earlier icon know as "Hospitality of Abraham."  He removed Abraham and Sarah for this painting.
