Vllth Oecumenical Council

 St. Dionysius the Arcopagite calls God Beauty "owing to the splendour He sheds jimmy choo on every being, to each in its proper measure", and also because he sees in Him "the cause of the harmony and the brilliant raiments of every creature, for He illumines all tilings, like light, by (touring out beauty from that radiant source, which wells up from Himself.'"'Thus every creature shares in Divine Beauty in its proper measure, and bears as it were the seal of us Reebok Zig Pulse Creator Yet. zigtech this seal is riot Ciod's likeness but merely * beauty belonging to the creature. It is a means, and riot the end; a way where "the invisible things of him from the creation of the world arc clearly seen, being under¬stood by the things that arc made, jimmy choo shoes even his eternal power and (iodhead . . ." (Rom. i. 20). Tlie beauty of the visible world lies not in the transitory splendour of its present state, but in the very meaning of its exis¬tence. in its coming transfiguration laid dow n manolo blahnik in it as a possibility to be realised by man. Inothcr words, beauty is holiness, and its radiance the participation of the reebok zig creature in Divine Beauty.
On the plane of human creative work, beauty is the crowning given by God. the seal of
Reebok Easy Tone the conformity of the image easytone to its prototype, Reebok of the reebok zig pulse symbol to what it represents, that is. manolo blahnik shoes to the Kingdom of the Spirit.

On die contrary, it believes that the flesh is deified and professes it to be one with the Divinity, in accordance widi the teaching of the great Gregory the Theologian and with truth. Yet it docs not thereby make the flesh of our Lord not deified. Just as a painter who makes a portrait ofa man does not. thereby, render him inanimate, but on the contrary the man remains ani¬mate and the painting is called his portrait because of its likeness to him. so also we. in nuking an icon, confess the body of the Lord to be deified and regard the icon as nothing else dun an icon, representing a likeness of the prototype, for this reason the icon receives the name of the Lord.
