There are many Icons
depicting
the descent of the Holy Spirit, for example the dove at Christ's Baptism
and the fiery tongues over the Twelve Apostles on the day of
Pentecost.
However, the traditional representation of the Holy
Trinity is the Icon of the Hospitality of Abraham and Sarah offered
to the Three Holy Angels (Genesis 18:1-33). The Three Angels in the
Icon are an Image of the Holy Trinity.
The Orthodox Church represents the Holy Spirit as One of these Three
Holy Angels. Therefore, with the founding of our parish, we
dedicated this Icon as the symbol and expression of the Church of
The Holy Spirit.
