To mark the Feast of Epiphany in Eastern Orthodox communties in northern climes, brave believers commemorate the Baptism of Christ by taking a freezing plunge through cross-shaped holes cut into ice-covered bodies of water. The biblical event is seen as a celebration of the Trinity, where God the Father in a voice from heaven reveals the divine sonship of Christ, confirmed by the descent of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. In keeping with this Eastern Christian epiphanic theme, I am featuring an icon this week of the Holy Trinity by Ukrainian Greek Catholic Artist Natalya Rusetska, now on view in the gallery of the New Iconography of Lviv page in the Schools of Sacred Art Section. Rusetska offers us an ethereal variation on the traditional convention of presenting God in Three Persons as the three angelic visitors to Abraham, a prototype most famously represented in the 15th century image of the Holy Trinity by Russian Iconographer Andrei Rublev. She has set the transcendent scene in a verdant bower reminding us of the divine work in creating, sustaining and redeeming the material world. (John Kohan)
