Title
Holy Trinity
Description
In the building of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church members and friends see the following icons on display. They deepen our understanding of the Life into which we were baptized. The paraphrased descriptions of each one are taken from a four-volume prayer book, For All The Saints, printed by the American Lutheran Publicity Bureau. The original descriptions were written by Jeffrey Neal Larson.
When we look through a window we look out and see the reality on the other side, but also what is on the other side shines in on us. Icons have been called “windows into heaven” through which we not only see the biblical message and the saints, but also from which the Lord’s Presence and Light shines out on the viewer.
Icons are the special Christian paintings (writings) that go back to the earliest visual images of the biblical stories and saints, preserving the theology of the Church in lines and colors.
