Handmade Byzantine Icon of the Hospitality of Abraham.
In the Christian faith, the Holy Trinity describes three divine persons who share one essence. They are consubstantial and of equal power. The source of the Holy Trinity is the Father from whom the Son is begotten and the Holy Spirit proceeds.
According to the book of Genesis, the three persons of God (Father-Son-Holy Spirit) were presented to Abraham as men-messengers. The scene from which the icon is inspired is also known as "The Hospitality of Abraham".
Genesis 18:1-16
The Three Visitors
The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
The Icon of the Hospitality of Abraham is an exact copy of Byzantine art and is made with devotion and respect by experienced craftsmen of the Christian tradition.
The Icon is created using the technique of gold printing while its background consists of hagiographic leaves of 22 carat gold which are applied in detail.
During the final processing, the Icon is painted with dark red color around the perimeter and polished with a special varnish to maintain its shine.
