Forza d'Agrò - Chiesa della Triade

 
The Chiesa della Triade was erected in 1117. The monks chose the Greek language, not Latin, for the expression of the Trinity, and in addition its Old Testament representation which was widely used in the Eastern Christian Church: the three angels of Abraham. This is also the theme of the altarpiece by Antonio Giuffrè (about 1500), as well as appearing on one side of the wood-carved processional banner (gonfalone) of the "Brotherhood of the Holy Trinity", which on the other side depicts Mary with the Infant Jesus.

The facade of the church dates from the end of the 16th century.
