Quotes from St. John of Damascus,one of the Fathers of the 7th Ecumenical Council:

I do not venerate matter, I venerate the fashioner of matter, whobecame matter for my sake and accepted to dwell in matter andthrough matter worked my salvation, and I will not cease fromreverencing matter, through which my salvation was worked.

I reverence therefore matter and I hold in respect and venerate thatthrough which my salvation has come about, I reverence it not asGod, but as filled with divine energy and grace.

We therefore venerate the images, not by offering veneration tomatter, but through them to those who are depicted in them.

“For the honor offered to the image mounts up to the archetype,” asthe divine Basil says.
