Christianity - the most common and yet most mysterious religion.In many other theological systems everything is clear, everything is explainable, but in Orthodoxy central doctrine of the Church of the Trinity is unclear.What is the Holy Trinity?And I understand that all three persons of the Godhead are one, but do not merge into one person.
If you ask any orthodox about it, he will shrug his shoulders: I do not know.And this ignorance is not shameful.A man can not know and understand the mystery of the Trinity, it is not accessible to the human mind.Holy Trinity is described in theological literature a few words with the particle "not" at the beginning.Thus, the Trinity "nesliyanna" and "indivisible".It is not a single creature, but not three separate beings, not three gods.A logical explanation for this combination can not be, therefore, speaking of the Trinity often use analogies.For example, the Trinity is often compared to the sun.The sun - is the light, the heat and the sun itself.These concepts are different substances, one can feel the heat, but do not see the light, to see the light, but did not feel the heat (in winter), yet they are inseparable.To understand what the Holy Trinity, in this sample, of course, impossible, but it gives a vague idea of this mystery.
strange that millions of believers around the world are actively using the concept of mind totally inaccessible?Prayer is part of the Trinity in the daily rule, the temple of the Holy Trinity - the traditional decoration of the villages and towns on the lectern is the icon of the Holy Trinity.It seems that we should not respect themselves, to talk about what you do not understand.In fact, believers take it a little differently.The mystery of the Trinity, and some other dogmatic points only indicates that the Christian faith was not invented by people, it is beyond human comprehension, and therefore of divine origin.Invented and invent can only be something clear and accessible, and not vice versa.Therefore, the mystery doctrine of God proves the origin of the Christian faith over.
All shrines in Christianity can be portrayed.Well, if Christ was born and walked the earth, so it can draw.Angels were the Virgin and the saints, hence they are available image.All the saints, angels, and even God Himself is depicted on icons.There is only one exception: the Most Holy Trinity.Indeed, the Trinity was never seen, so it is impossible to portray.And if the third person of the Trinity - the Holy Spirit - can still be present in the form of a dove, that God the Father has not been seen ever.He, however, still painted as an old man beside the young son, but this image completely uncanonical, that is not recognized for the right.
There is, however, one Canonicity image of the Trinity.It is the Holy Trinity - the icon by Andrei Rublev.Andrew Monk depicted three angels who came to Moses.It is believed that in the form of angels to come is God.But what is so brilliant in its icon?
drawn, of course, beautiful, but there are more impressive icons and known it was this.The point here is not in the art of oil letters.Icon "Trinity" is famous for its contents.Before praying the divine advice in the bowels of the Holy Trinity before the incarnation of Christ.God the Father looks on the Son and the Son is looking for a small bowl on the table.It is a conversation about the redemption of man, about the future suffering of communion.That is precisely this semantic content and famous icon of the Trinity.
