Research information
A similar icon is published in "Pictura ÈÄrÄneascÄ pe sticlÄ" ("Peasant Painting on Glass"), by Iuliana and Demetrius Dancu, Bucharest, 1975, pos. 63.
A traditional Byzantine representation of the Holy Trinity, also named Abraham's Feast, or The Supper in Mamvri, the icon kept, in the version of Făgăraș Land, some of the distinction of the ancient model, noticed especially in the posture and apparel of the Angels. In the lower corners appear Sarah, with a napkin, and Abraham, holding a cup of wine, as Abraham is the one in whose house the Angels came, invited to the supper.
