John Damascus (675 or 676 - 749), the so-called John Damascene, was a Syrian monk and priest. He wrote many works on Christian faith, and his hymns are still used in the liturgical practice of the Eastern Orthodox Church. According to some sources, he was patriarch of Jerusalem, but these are not officially confirmed sources and should be accepted with reserve. He was best known for his strong defense of icons during the iconoclsam.

The correct answer is: The leading opponent of iconoclasm


Iconoclasm is a belief in the necessity of destroying icons by those who have literally interpreted the ten commandments of God, where it is said that there is no image for worship. This is, of course, the wrong interpretation of the commandments. Under the auspices of the Byzantine Empire, there was a lot to and against the destruction of icons. Iconoclasm was led by the Byzantine Emperor Leo III, so that all the opponents were most strongly prosecuted. This also affected the relationship between the Byzantine Empire and the West. Catholic Church always defended sacred images and icons, but not their rise and worship as gods.

The correct answer is: A break in relations between the East and West

Compare the Silk Road with the Great Wall of China as symbols of Chinese foreign policy.
arlik [135]

The third alternative is correct (C).

<u>Both the Wall of China and the Silk Road represented, in their respective periods, the political power of China as a nation. </u>

<u>The Great Wall</u> crosses mountains and rivers and is considered one of the great wonders of the world. Many of the stones used in its construction measure more than two meters and its weight exceeds one ton. The main reason for its construction was the desire to defend itself against the attacks of the nomadic peoples of the north, but also was used to transfer people and armaments at great speed from one side to another, demonstrating the technological character of the work.

<u>The Silk Road</u> was a series of commercial and cultural transmission routes that were central to the cultural interaction between the West and the East. Silk was certainly China's main trade item, but many other goods were also marketed. These routes allowed the development of strong commercial relations of the Chinese empire with Persia, India and the Roman Empire.
