SYMBOLS IN THE PORTRAIT (the Artist's original creation) In accordance with the best traditions of Portrait Painting (and as I often do in my official portraits and portrait works), I have included a number of appropriate SYMBOLS in the portrait of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. The portrait symbols are: Image of The Trinity , an icon, painted by Andrey Rublev (c.1360-c.1430), which represents Christianity and the Russian Orthodox Faith ; People, walking towards a church (in the bottom left) represent the idiom that 'All the roads lead to the Church '; Birch trees, national trees of Russia (in the bottom right) give the sense of place and represent Russia ; River is a symbol of Eternity ; The Sun (bottom left, above the church) symbolizes Life and Future . ~ Igor V.
