“Of old, God the incorporeal and formless was never depicted, but now that God has been seen in the flesh, i depict what i have seen of God.

I do not venerate matter, I venerate the fashioner of matter who became matter for my sake and who through matter worked my salvation.”

— St. John of Damascus
