Any person, as a child of God, should strive to embrace the heavenly Father, into a lost paradise.

The dogma of the triune God is one of the most important in Christianity, regardless of denomination, therefore the icon of the Trinity has its own symbolic meaning and interesting history.

According to the Christian dogma, there can not be an exact representation of God the Trinity. He is incomprehensible and too great, besides, no one saw God (according to the biblical statement). Only Christ descended to earth in his own image, but it is impossible to directly represent the Trinity.

However, symbolic images are possible:

- in an angelic guise (three Old Testament guests of Abraham);
- a festive icon of the Epiphany;
the descent of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost;
- Transfiguration of the Lord.

All these images are considered icons of the Holy Trinity, because each case is marked by the phenomenon of different hypostases. As an exception, it is permitted to depict God the Father in the form of an old man on icons about the Last Judgment.
