The central theme of the Eucharistic meaning of this icon of the Trinity is "the lamb led to Calvary to be sacrificed." Father (angel on the right) is chairing the eternal banquet with his right hand welcomes, encourages and instructs his son to be sacrificed in a gesture of blessing. The Son (Angel of the center) with his two fingers indicates its mission, the sacrifice on the cross through his incarnation, at the same time "give thanks and bless the cup slaughter "as he is priest and victim, with his eyes fixed on the Father offered himself intercedes for us. The Holy Spirit (angel on the left) gives his assent to the sacrifice to receive the blessing of the Father and the Son with his right hand, pointing to the rectangular opening in front of the altar, signifying that he is the "gift that makes the cup salvation for the world "(action epicletica) through the Eucharistic sacrifice the man giving the possibility to participate in the eternal banquet.
The altar square means the new world, the cup is the cup of salvation, and the rectangular opening in front of the altar is the place where they are deposited relics of the martyrs, entrance to the house of love and door for those who participate in the divine sacrifice by offering his life.
So in the scene as the cross of sacrifice, the vertical arm formed by the tree, the Son, the lamb and the world, and the horizontal arm formed by the head of the Father and the Holy Spirit. The whole scene surrounded by a circle in motion that evokes the communion of the Divine Life, the house of love that invites us to enter. The colors of their dresses are three, the blue of the sky indicates the divinity, the red tunic of the son's love indicates blood shed in sacrifice for Adam and all mankind, the green of the vegetation indicates fertility land. The three colors are harmoniously attuned diluted in the yellow (gold) reflex, white signifies the importance and uniqueness of God.
This icon is, well, image deeply Eucharistic church, which penetrates into the liturgical action, and makes visible the invisible gift offers the cup of salvation and blessed by the Son Trinity expresses solidarity with the sacrifice. So considering this icon in the conversation we love, the mystery of all interiority, of the Three Persons, sitting at the table we also part of the great chalice of sacrifice shown by the Angels side.
