Part 1: "the underlying idea of the icon...is the manifestation of the hidden... The icon is not a picture...The icon is a grace and a life, A saving truth is not communicated by the word alone but by the fact of awakening vital forces of life, through the presentation of beauty."
- taken from the Byzantine Book of Daily Worship
Part 2: I have attached an image. This is the icon of the Trinity by Rublev. It's my favorite icon that I've come across and I hope the quote in part 1 can offer some insight as to why/how I can value an image like this.
