SAINT JOHN OF DAMASCUS

God is an ocean where creation has emerged as the foam on the crest of waves. Sacred art is comparable to a wave of the Spirit received, through the soul, on the shoreline. An icon is a grain of salt from the sea divine: it has lost the subtlety of its liquid source, but it's still noise and silence its vastness. Any interpretation of sacred art is to follow the opposite course of this wave to go back to the ocean divine which contains all waters and all flows . "I represent God, the Invisible, not as he is invisible, but insofar as it became visible to us by participating in our condition" Therefore, venerating the image that is given, we agree that it is represented. Saint John Damascene states: "I do not worship matter, I worship the creator of the material that has deigned to live in the area."
