Today is the feast of St. John Damascene. He lived in the Eastern Church at a time (657-749) when the veneration of icons was being attacked as idolatrous. In defense of icons St. John declared that what was at stake was the capacity of material things to serve as the vehicle of divine grace, the very basis of the Incarnation. By becoming matter in Jesus, God enters into all matter.
