Saint John of Damascus (s. VIII)

From there he would go to Jerusalem church of the Holy Sepulchre. In both places, he stood out for his intense literary activity, who could be compared with Saint Isidore of Seville in the West. Highly noted in the iconoclastic complaint, one of the times that it was attempted to eliminate the Christian iconography, with a defense of the traditional cult explaining the true nature of the tribute that surrendered them to the images that came to all the known world.
