the uncreated One;
O Unity, O Unity
of Father, Spirit, Son:
You are without beginning,
Your life is never ending;
and though our tongues are
earthbound clay,
light them with flaming fire today.
(From the Lenten Triodion of the Orthodox Church.)
The image is a detail of Andrei Rublev’s icon, The Trinity. 1411 or 1425-27.
