This is an icon of God.

If that is an icon of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, then it is much closer to the Mormon understanding of God than the Biblical understanding.

Since when does the Father have a body of flesh and bones?

And since the Father is probably the guy with the grey hair, is it your understanding that the Father is older than the Son? Because that is the idea represented in that image.

Is the Father aging or was He always a grey haired old man?

And who is the little icon face in the middle?

Are there four members of the Trinity?

Did the Church sanction that image? Is that an "official" icon?

I think that it dates from the 500s. I will ask my friend Kosta to read this icon. It is closer to the Christianity of Jesus and the Apostles than anything that came from and after the Reformation.

I had thought that you knew more about Christianity than this. This is your heritage, not the bleatings of the Reformers in their cups.
