Trinity Sunday
There
was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night
and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God;
for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God.”
Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God
without being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can anyone be born
after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and
be born?” Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom
of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is
flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I
said to you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it chooses,
and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where
it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to
him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher of Israel,
and yet you do not understand these things?
“Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
“Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Moscow

The Trinity depicts the three angels who
visited Abraham at
the Oak of Mamre (Genesis
18:1–8), but the painting is full of symbolism and is interpreted as
an icon of the Holy Trinity. At the time of Rublev, the Holy
Trinity was the embodiment of spiritual unity, peace, harmony, mutual love and
humility.[6]
The icon was commissioned to honour
Saint Sergius of Radonezh of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, near Moscow,
now in the town of Sergiyev Posad. Little is known about The
Trinity's history, and art historians make suggestions based on only the few
known facts.[7] Even
the authorship of Rublev has been questioned. Various authors suggest different
dates, such as 1408-1425, 1422-1423 or 1420-1427. The official version states
1411 or 1425-27. The Trinity is currently held in the Tretyakov
Gallery in Moscow.

to remove the fearful thinking
that surrounds your perfect self.

It seems to me we can never give up longing and
wishing
while we are thoroughly alive.
There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good,
and we must hunger after them.

Trinity
Church - Ichtus
1877
Boston,
Massachusetts
United
States
Trinity Church, Boston, was
completed in 1877. Its architect was H. H. Richardson, and numerous artists and
craftspeople contributed to the interior design. In 1971, Trinity was
designated a National Historic Landmark for "possessing "exceptional
value in commemorating or illustrating the history of the United States."
The word for fish in Greek is ICHTUS, which represents the first letter of each
Greek word of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Three fish are symbolic of the
three days that Jonah spent in the belly of the whale, which prefigures Jesus'
three days from death to resurrection. This wood carving is in the chancel area
of Trinity Church, Boston.
