I Love this picture of Andrei Rublev’s Icon of the Trinity. Is it possible to imagine the trio sitting around a table at Starbucks?
Every sweep of the paint brush resonates with symbolism.
The Father is on the right. He is adorned with different colours which change with light, He cannot be confined.
The son is wearing garments reflecting the link between heaven and earth. Reddish brown symbolises the earth. The blue cloak suggests heaven.
The Holy Spirit is in blue and fragile green garments. Often he meets us without our recognition.
In the background is a hill of prayer and a house of hospitality. A tree represents the death to life nature of the resurrection
The relationship flows in an anticlockwise fashion from father to Spirit and is channelled into the space at the table.
The object of all the energy is humankind.
I look at the coffee outlet, product highly visible to the world, offering a seven day hospitality.
I wonder if sometimes, the energy within church life has been used up in another direction?
