"The Light" [c. 2025]

 

The 7th Ecumenical Council, Nicaea, 787 A.D.

 

" [The Council condemned iconoclasm and]  decreed that icons, such as those depicting Christ, saints, and events from church history, are to be honored with veneration, not full adoration, and serve as visual aids for spiritual contemplation."
