Summary[edit]

Triptych Icon with the Deposition, Holy Trinity, and Women at the Tomb   (  )
Artist	Anonymous (Russia)Unknown author
Title	Triptych Icon with the Deposition, Holy Trinity, and Women at the Tomb
Description	English: This small icon was made for private devotion and could be worn around the neck. The central panel depicts the Three Angels Visiting Abraham (Genesis 18:1-8), flanked by panels of the Deposition of Christ (left) and the Holy Women at the Tomb (right). The three men who came to the house of Abraham were seen as a parallel to the New Testament Trinity of God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. In the Orthodox Church, Pentecots is also the feast day of the Holy Trinity, so the central image of this triptych is surrounded by the text of the liturgical hymn (troparion) sung on that day.
