- Title
Showing one's true colours: Patriarch Methodios on the morally improving effect of sacred images.
- Authors
Krausmüller, Dirk
- Abstract
This brief article makes the case that Patriarch Methodios developed a distinctive icon theology. He argued that the saints had infused the colours of their faces with their holy essence and that these colours when separated from the bodies and transferred to images could thus lead to the moral improvement of the onlookers.
