Happy Sunday, brothers and sisters! Today we remember the holy fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council, held in Nicaea in 787. She adopted the doctrine of veneration for the holy icons: "The honor given to the image passes to the original image, and whoever worships the icon bows to the essence of the one who appears on it. ".
Iconoclasm was finally declared heresy and against God. The insolence of those who hate the image of God and the power of the wicked comes in Nicaea without God, and the inhuman message of the widow, who devoutly adores the icon of the Mother of God, answers clearly, but when she sleeps at night with her son, let the icon enter the sea, calling: Glory to you, pure, for you gave the impassable sea, glory to your righteousness, O incorruptible.
