I gave an icon to my son, The Trinity. It has three identical figures seated at a table. They have wings. Art or icon? Now Im confused. I had it blessed.

RUBLEV'S HOLY TRINITY
Icon ... and one of the most highly recognized ones, too! The icon of the Trinity was painted around 1410 by Andrei Rublev. It depicts the three angels who visited Abraham at the Oak of Mamre - but is often interpreted as an icon of the Trinity. It is sometimes called the icon of the Old Testament Trinity. The image is full of symbolism - designed to take the viewer into the Mystery of the Trinity. Here is it's explanation.
