  • Icon Depicting God the Father
  • Question  I have received a large 19th century
    Russian icon depicting God the Father. The Holy
    Spirit in the usual form of a dove is also shown.
    However, Christos is excluded. I have never
    before seen this particular representation. Is
    this unusual?
  • Answer   Dr. Alexander Roman alex_at_unicorne.org
  • The icon is unusual in a few ways.First of all,
    traditional Orthodox iconographic rules state
    that God the Father is NOT to be represented in
    any way. Therefore, the representation of the
    Father as the "Ancient of Days" is not permitted,
    even though iconographers do take their liberties
    and do write such icons.
