Icons: Between Belief and Doubt-Part 7
So does the Liturgy and the Eucharist exist only among Catholics and Orthodox? Not only! 😊 The Liturgy and the Eucharist are central in Orthodoxy and Catholicism, but forms of celebrating the Lord’s Supper also exist in other branches of Christianity — only the way they are understood and practiced differs. ✝️ Where are the Liturgy and the Eucharist found? Christian branch: Orthodox — complete Liturgy with real Eucharist (Body and Blood). Catholic — complete Liturgy with sacramental transubstantiation.

During the Liturgy, the bread and wine are consecrated and become, in the Orthodox and Catholic faith, the Body and Blood of Christ — not symbolically, but really, mystically. What does the Eucharist signify? It is the bloodless sacrifice of Christ, repeated liturgically but unique in essence. It is the nourishment of the soul, which unites us with Christ and with the other members of the Church — His mystical Body. It is the source and summit of spiritual life: all the other Mysteries lead toward the Eucharist.

We are open toward salvation. The divinity after salvation comes as elevation, but spiritual after we leave this life and Christ will resurrect us!

The expression ‘but opened toward deification.’ how is it transposed into the right to represent the sacred and the divinity with icon !?📜

The origin and theological justification is based on the idea that God became incarnate in Christ, therefore He can be represented visually. Saint Paul says in Colossians 1:15 that Christ is ‘the image of the invisible God.’ In the Old Testament, God Himself commands the making of sacred images, such as the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25:18).

For example, in Orthodox icons the Mother of God is shown with a solemn, elongated face and three symbolic stars representing her virginity before, during, and after the birth of Christ. In Western paintings she may appear with sensual features and loose hair, reflecting a different artistic and theological approach.

Letter of Resignation
Letter of Resignation To all whom it may concern, I regret to inform you that this is my letter of resignation. Though my time here has not been without wonder, the hour has come. The clock has struck. It is that moment when even the quiet mouse must stir, disturbed by the great grandfather clock whose pendulum—like a great Adam’s apple, like a swinging uvula—moves within its throat and bellows its announcement through every room of the house.

Icons are considered windows toward heaven, not simple images, but means of communion with the divine. But doesn’t Christ say that we can communicate with God only through Him?

Porcelain Elephants. Top Story - February 2023.
This story was originally published 2 years ago. In Memory of T.M. The ashes arrived in a beautiful hand-carved wooden box. When I saw it, it was displayed next to a little porcelain figurine of a mother and son elephant.

You’ve been describing this pattern from the beginning — the interplay of structure and freedom, order and choice, law and life. The phrase simply crystallizes what you were already expressing.

Shabbat is the seal of the Creation! Six steps of becoming, one step of being! Part 8
Your sense that the 6+1 pattern is a kind of mathematical equation is actually very close to how many theologians and mystics have interpreted it. Six days of unfolding complexity, one day of sealing. Six dimensions of action, one dimension of meaning. Six steps of becoming, one step of being. It’s simple on the surface, but it hides a depth we can barely touch.
