Holy Trinity Icon – Monastery of Sparmos

This is a silkscreen reproduction with gold leaf and hand-painted details, crafted according to tradition. It represents the Holy Trinity Icon from the Monastery of Sparmos in Greece, one of the beloved depictions of the divine mystery. The Trinity is portrayed in the form of the Old Testament Hospitality of Abraham, where the three angelic figures seated around the table reveal the unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The icon draws on the prophecy of Genesis 18, when Abraham received three visitors under the oak of Mamre. Orthodox tradition interprets this event as a foreshadowing of the Trinity. This composition emphasizes divine unity, eternal communion, and the mystery of God’s love.

In iconography, the Trinity is not labeled with individual names, preserving the incomprehensibility of God, but the central figure is often associated with Christ and shown with the cross-inscribed halo bearing the letters Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu), “He Who Is.”

In the Orthodox calendar, the feast of the Holy Trinity is celebrated on Pentecost Sunday, fifty days after Pascha, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles.

The Holy Trinity icon – Monastery of Sparmos is a profound gift for families, weddings, anniversaries, baptisms, and new homes, symbolizing unity, peace, and divine blessing. It is especially fitting for prayer corners and as a central family icon.
