The controversy that this Council addressed was more than a struggle over different views of Christian art.

The Seventh Ecumenical Council upheld the iconodules' postion in AD 787. They proclaimed: ''Icons... are to be kept in churches and honored with the same relative veneration as is shown to other material symbols, such as the 'precious and life-giving [[Cross]]' and the Book of the Gospels.'' The 'doctrine of icons' is tied to the Orthodox teaching that all of God's creation is to be redeemed and glorified, both spiritual and material.  This was upheld in the [[Triumph of Orthodoxy]], celebrated on the First Sunday of Lent.
