Apolytikion for the Fathers.

Plagal of the Fourth Tone

You are greatly glorified, O Christ our God, who established our Fathers as luminaries upon the earth, and through them led us all to the true Faith. O Most compassionate, glory to You.

 

Ἀπολυτίκιον τῶν Πατέρων.

Plagal of the Fourth Tone

. Ὑπερδεδοξασμένος εἶ, ΧριστὲΘεὸς ἡμῶν, ὁ φωστῆρας ἐπὶ γῆς τοὺς Πατέρας ἡμῶν θεμελιώσας, καὶ δι' αὐτῶν πρὸς τὴν ἀληθινὴν πίστιν, πάντας ἡμᾶς ὁδηγήσας· πολυεύσπλαγχνε, δόξα σοι.

 

Kontakion for the Fathers.

The Son, who ineffably shone from the

Father, was of woman born dual in nature.

Knowing this, we do not deny the depiction

of His form, but piously making inquiry,

we faithfully venerate it. And therefore, the

Church, holding the true Faith, salutes the

image of Christ's incarnation.

 

Κοντάκιον τῶν Πατέρων.

ἐκ Πατρὸς ἐκλάμψας Υἱὸς ἀῤῥήτως,

ἐκ γυναικὸς ἐτέχθη διπλοῦς τῇ φύσει, ὃν

εἰδότες, οὐκ ἀρνούμεθα τῆς μορφῆς τὸ

ἐκτύπωμα, αὐτὸ δὲ εὐσεβῶς ἀνιστοροῦντες,

σέβομεν πιστῶς. Καὶ διὰ τοῦτο, τὴν

ἀληθινὴν πίστιν κρατοῦσα ἡ Ἐκκλησία,

ἀσπάζεται τὴν εἰκόνα τῆς Χριστοῦ

ἐνανθρωπήσεως.

 

 

 

 

Sunday of the 7th Ecumenical Council

 

 

On the Sunday that falls on or immediately after the     eleventh of this month, we chant the Service to the 350 Holy Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council, which gathered in Nicaea in 787 under the holy Patriarch Tarasius and during the reign of the Empress Irene and her son, Constantine Porphyrogenitus, to refute the Iconoclast heresy, which had received imperial support beginning with the Edict issued in 726 by Emperor Leo the Isaurian. Many of the holy Fathers who condemned Iconoclasm at this Holy Council later died as Confessors and Martyrs for the holy Icons during the second assault of Iconoclasm in the ninth century, especially during the reigns of Leo the Armenian and Theophilus.

The Decision of the Council

Concerning the teaching of icons 

Venerating icons, having them in churches and homes, is what the Church teaches. They are "open books to remind us of God." Those who lack the time or learning to study theology need only to enter a church to see the mysteries of the Christian religion unfolded before them.

Concerning the doctrinal significance of icons 

Icons are necessary and essential because they protect the full and proper doctrine of the Incarnation. While God cannot be represented in His eternal nature ("...no man has seen God", John 1:18), He can be depicted simply because He "became human and took flesh." Of Him who took a material body, material images can be made. In so taking a material body, God proved that matter can be redeemed. He deified matter, making it spirit-bearing, and so if flesh can be a medium for the Spirit, so can wood or paint, although in a different fashion.

“I do not worship matter, but the Creator of matter, who for my sake became  material and deigned to dwell in matter, who through matter effected my salvation…” —St. John of Damascus
