The Church, through the temple and Divine service, acts
upon the entire man, educates him wholly; acts upon his sight, hearing,
smelling, feeling, taste, imagination, mind, and will, by the splendour of the
icons and of the whole temple, by the ringing of bells, by the singing of the
choir, by the fragrance of the incense, the kissing of the Gospel, of the cross
and the holy icons, by the prosphoras, the singing, and sweet sound of the
readings of the Scriptures.”
St. John of
Kronstadt
