Rublev's Trinity


In Church I have learned of the horrors that Rublev (the Icon painter) lived through.
A world invaded, villages destroyed, immense cruelty.
In my reading, I have come across someone saying that this Icon is the one of the best arguments for revealing God's existence.
What inner spiritual riches Rublev shows
in the midst of what appeared to be a living hell
as it is often phrased today.
It is this understanding of the Trinity
of Christ being in our midst
that is needed.
Christ with us.
When I was overcome with sickness in the middle of the night
while talking to a dear brother
that I became aware of what it can be like
God suffering alongside.
God in the Trinity is with us.
