The monk Daniel, who died before Saint Andrew, appeared to his friend and urged him to join him in eternal blessedness. After the death of Saint Sergius in 1392, Saint Nikon (November 17) succeeded him as igumen. While still very young, he went to the Holy Trinity Monastery, and was profoundly impressed by Saint Sergius of Radonezh (September 25). He was over seventy years old at the time of his death. Saint Andrew Rublev, Russia’s greatest iconographer, was born near Moscow sometime between 13. Saint Andrew fell asleep in the Lord between 1427-1430, and was buried in the Andronikov Monastery. At this time Saint Andrew painted his most famous icon: the Holy Trinity (actually, the Hospitality of Abraham). The Holy Trinity icon is the Patronal icon of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Rublev was a professed Orthodox monk living in St. Andrei Rublev, who lived from about 1370 until 1430 C.E. Saint Nikon of Radonezh asked Saint Andrew and Daniel to paint the new church in the reconstructed monastery of the Holy Trinity, which had been destroyed by the Tatars in 1408. The name Troitsa is the Russian name given to his icon by the most famous Russian iconographer, St. His next important project, which he undertook with the monk Daniel, was to paint the frescoes in the Dormition Cathedral in Vladimir in 1408. Saint Andrew is first mentioned in the Chronicles in 1405, when he, Theophanes, and Prochorus painted the cathedral of the Annunciation. Even so, the icon has a unique charm and the impeccable precision of the painting shines through 600 years of use. Over the centuries the icon was severely damaged, and only the central section with the Lords face survives intact. Sometime before 1405 he moved to the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery founded by Saint Andronicus (June 13), with the blessing of Saint Nikon.There Saint Andrew received monastic tonsure and was taught iconography by Theophanes the Greek and the monk Daniel, Saint Andrew’s friend and fellow-ascetic. This icon of the Savior was painted by Saint Andrei Rublev about the year 1410. Saint Andrew became a novice in the monastery under Saint Nikon. While still very young, he went to the Holy Trinity Monastery, and was profoundly impressed by Saint Sergius of Radonezh (September 25).Īfter the death of Saint Sergius in 1392, Saint Nikon (November 17) succeeded him as igumen.
