  3  2,24|        these are the traditional icons of intense spiritual beauty
  4  2,24|     prototypes and to God. These icons bear the impress of holiness
  5  2,24|          way of life. Other true icons having the imprint of holiness
  6  2,24|     appeared miraculously.~ True icons are not those of the worldly,
  7  2,24|       modernistic, Western-style icons are not holy, and it is
  8  3,22| Ecumenical Council that defended icons, while it seems at first

 10  4,2 |          who taught against holy icons may have been influenced
 11  4,3 |   puritan outlook that condemned icons was an Asiatic protest against
 12  4,4 |       Iconoclasts, who destroyed icons and exiled, imprisoned and
 13  4,7 |          the last persecution of icons take place?~The Byzantine
 14  4,7 |          started a new attack on icons in 815.~ ~
 15  4,8 |        The final victory of holy icons in 842 is known as what?~
 16  4,9 |          chief defenders of holy icons?~ St. John of Damascus (+
 17  4,9 |         Damascus (+749) defended icons during the first phase of
 18  4,10|       words the paragraph titled Icons as Part of the Church's
 19  4,10|        place him in front of the icons, for they are a “revelation
 20  4,10|       which is hidden.” That is, icons bear witness to the deification
 21  4,10|        of the mysterious quality icons have of teaching by image
 22  4,10|       lead a person towards God. Icons are theology communicated
 23  4,12|          is it essential to have icons?~ Icons are a visual form
 24  4,12|        essential to have icons?~ Icons are a visual form of theology
 25  4,12|        that time, those who love icons thereby reaffirm their love
 26  4,12|     Christ.~ Having and honoring icons is deeply rooted in the
 27  4,12|         most obvious function of icons is that they enhance the
 28  4,12|        It must be spiritual.~(2) Icons instruct the faithful in
 29  4,12|         should be represented on icons. St. Photios, Patriarch
 30  4,12|      Photios goes on to add that icons not only teach, as written
 31  4,12|        the deeds of the martyrs. Icons present simultaneously and
 32  4,12|          blended [The Meaning of Icons, p.30].~ ~ The Fathers of
 33  4,12|         revealed to man. Through icons, Christians receive a vision
 34  4,12|         the spiritual world, for icons are windows into that world,
 35  4,12|         fall asleep spiritually. Icons serve as a reminder of the
 36  4,12|          saving suffering.”~ (4) Icons additionally serve to lift
 37  4,12|          life. When we see their icons, we recall their superior
 38  4,12|        We are led by perceptible icons to the contemplation of
 39  4,12|          John of Damascus).~ (5) Icons serve to inspire people
 40  4,12|      holy ones depicted on them. Icons help in this way because
 41  4,12|      holy personages are seen in icons, the more are the beholders
 42  4,12|     aspiration after them.”~ (6) Icons have the ability to transform
 43  4,12|    character, one's whole being. Icons help sanctify people. As
 44  4,12|       that by bowing before holy icons and looking at them, the
 45  4,12|           Dr. Cavarnos adds that icons help solve the problem of
 46  4,12|     habitually contemplate. True icons focus the distracted, dispersed
 47  4,12|       achieved spiritual beauty. Icons incite the beholder “to
 48  4,12|        of it more and more.~ (7) Icons have a liturgical function,
 49  4,12|       the liturgical function of icons in his notation that:~ ~
 50  4,12|          them, be it by means of icons, or by means of hymns and
 51  4,12|          the functions served by icons: “I enter the common place-of-therapy
 52  4,12|  Iconoclasm, the condemnation of icons, results when the important
 53  4,12|        the important function of icons is not understood, and when
 54  4,12|         making and veneration of icons as contrary to the Second
 55  4,12|        of the veneration of holy icons in the following words:~ ~
 56  4,12|          who are depicted in the icons], by so much more readily
 57  4,12|  reverence” which is accorded to icons, and “worship.” The veneration
 58  4,12|      worship.” The veneration of icons is reverential respect or
 59  4,12|          the veneration given to icons goes to the prototype that
 60  4,12|  Damascus and other defenders of icons, “The honor which is given
 61  4,12|      honor which is given to the icons passes over to the prototype.”
 62  4,12|           That is, in venerating icons, the honor one renders to
 63  4,12|       the nature and function of icons.~ As the same charge of
 64  4,12|         Orthodox do not approach icons as idols, but as the spiritual
 65  4,12|      does not apply to Christian icons. Protopresbyter Michael
 66  4,12|     idols blasphemes and defiles icons. Such a person commits sacrilege
 67  4,12| Orthodoxy over its veneration of icons. The bishop asks:~ ~Who
 68  4,12|          that Calvinists disdain icons, based on their rejection
 69  4,12|          after Protestants threw icons out of their churches through
 70  4,12|    through the windows. That is, icons were reintroduced into Protestant
 71  4,12|  Protestants do not regard these icons as graven images.~ No doubt
 72  4,12|        most rabid attack against icons comes from the Jehovah's
 73  4,12|     these people have pictures — icons — of their loved ones in
 74  4,12|     witnesses over the matter of icons, the bishop asked the witness
 75  4,12|          s Witnesses are against icons, meaning that he should
 76  4,12|        explained, honor and kiss icons, which is passed along to
 77  4,12|   idolatry because they venerate icons. The icon itself is not
 78  4,12|     because of its veneration of icons. However, the obvious fact
 79  4,12|        obvious fact remains that icons are not idols.~ The attack

 98  4,12|          and he notes that these icons have healed each and everyone
 99  4,12|        soul, from sins.~ To have icons and venerate them by honoring
100  4,12|      only to holy (or Byzantine) icons — that is, icons of the
101  4,12|      Byzantine) icons — that is, icons of the solemn, spiritual
102  4,12|    expression, these traditional icons inspire compunction and
103  4,12|          and to God. Traditional icons are faithful to the highest
104  4,12|   Revolution of 1821, innovative icons modeled after Roman Catholic
105  4,12|        Western prototypes, these icons were ostentations, worldly
106  4,12|       the like. He remarks that “icons must not be painted from
107  4,12|         man-within-the-Church.” [Icons: Theology in Color, pp.

111  4,12|         Tradition to use worldly icons.~ Fortunately, the deviation
112  4,12|    largely ceased, and Byzantine icons are replacing innovative

121  4,12|        an ancient custom to take icons on journeys. Recently the

127  4,12|        that direction before the icons. Praying facing east is
128  4,12|        the east.”~ In venerating icons, one should approach them
129  4,12|        Scriptures. One venerates icons in order to communicate
130  4,13|      into account by repudiating icons depicting God the Son?~
131  4,13|           the dispute about holy icons was inseparably bound up
