Nicht Holz und Farben – Warum wir die Ikonen verteidigen

What are we truly celebrating on Orthodox Sunday? Not a historical victory or a vindication—but the revelation that Christ became man, that heaven is open, and that humanity is called to be a living icon of God. Based on the day's readings—the holy Apostle Paul in his Letter to the Hebrews and the Lord's meeting with Nathanael—this sermon explores where true triumph takes place: not in the past, but in the heart of the person who is recognized and transformed by Christ. In the words of the Holy Fathers and in the spirit of the Orthodox liturgy, it becomes clear: the triumph of Orthodoxy is fulfilled where the image of Christ shines anew in humanity. #TriumphOfOrthodoxy #OrthodoxChurch #DivineLiturgy #Icons #IncarnationOfChrist #Deification #HolyApostlePaul #Gospel #Faith #HolyFathers #JohnOfDamascus #AthanasiusTheGreat #OrthodoxFaith #Sermon #OrthodoxySunday
