In greek churches, all the Church's wall are painted with icons. It's really great. @Quarantine_Zone
@Karu churches are supposed to be comfy
at least in my mind
what could be more comforting than the presence of God
Churches aren't supposed to be creepy and imposing
I went to a catholic church out of hours when nothing was lit once
Statues in shadows are creepy, man
Uhh... You want clowns and guitars putting the fear of God in you?
Thing is even in the dark, iconography is cozy
especially with some candles
Whoa. That's something. I like it.
I too always picture Mary as a High-Middle Ages knight with a cross
I recommened this translated page describing the history of the icon

Fascinating.

Wow. I can really see the family resemblance.
> inb4 "muh divine simplicity" cannot fathom 1 Jn. 4:12 and Jn 1:18 being compatible
did you just write that the father is the essence?
Difference between divine simplicity and absolute divine simplicity bruh
Divine simplicity is not a concept that accepts gradation. It's a very simple concept.
The entire upper part, with the graph, is labelled as "essence"
