My father and I went to see the Byzantium exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Friday night. I overheard the following:
"...they really had figurative and abstract representation down..."
Wife to husband: "It says that they fought paganism".
Husband: "Well good for them!"
Also, while I am not usually down with saints, if I had to choose one, Saint Theodosia seems a good role model since she "was one of the heroes of the Iconoclast period and was credited with leading the stubborn resistance..." Well good for her!
