VIDEO: The icon of the Holy Trinity painted by Rublev returned to the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius

It is Julian Calendar Pentecost. For their Pentecost, there was a special moment when Patriarch Kirill of Moscow led the meeting of the icon of the Holy and Life-Giving Trinity, painted by Andrei Rublev, in the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius and the all-night vigil in the Trinity Cathedral of the monastery.

    Hey I remember when Catholicism was a serious religion like this! It was way back in the day around 2012.

    What a marvelous sign of hope.
    If a return to faith can happen there,
    It can without a doubt happen here.

    Holy Trinity have mercy on us,
    Lord forgive us our sins.
    Glory to you, Christ our God, our hope:
    Glory to you!

    Those who know a thing or three about icons are rather particular that they are “written,” not “painted.” The general idea is that an icon is a stylized way of making a statement while a painting is an interpretation. (I only know enough about icons to be dangerous, so I offer https://americanassociationoficonographers.com/2017/02/28/why-icon-writing-and-not-painting/
    for a much more authoritative explanation.)
