520 |a Orthodox theology is iconographical theology, since the icons are perceived to be windows to heaven. The icon originates in the incarnation of the Son of God, the perfect sign of the descent of his love into creation for the purpose of salvation. The icon communicates the divine beauty or glory through material means that are visible for the «bodily eyes». It is not just a simple portrait, because a portrait represents a mere human being. Instead, the icon portrays the human as united with God. The icon unites two worlds, which appear to be irreconcilable, but in fact are in perfect co-ordination in the transfi guration of the whole creation. It allows us to unite the past with the present, and to catch a glimpse of the future. The icon is an expression of eternity because the Face of the Unseen becomes transparent in it.
