This paper describes the concept developed by the deification of man from Mount Athos theologian Gregory Palamas (d. 1359) and its effect on the color icon fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The concept teosis influenced primarily to provide light in the paintings. Under the influence of theology of Palamas remained above all the greatest icon painters in Rus-forming, such as Greek Teofan (†1410) and Andrew Rublev (†1430). Not only ascetics in prayer wanted to see and experience the divine light, which he wrote Palamas. Also, the artists portrayed in the paintings of light with certain colors mainly gold, white and luminous colors. Painters usually avoid dark colors and uses light colored, cheerful color palette. However, when they wanted to show the inscrutability of God's essence then painted in shades of light blue or dark green. In particular, see this luminous envelope around the body of Christ on the "Transforming the Lord." Important are the differences between these two artists' paintings. While the great Greek often narrowed the color palette to two colors (white and brown), the Rublev used a wide range of color and atmosphere created in the image of joy and transfigured world. Teofan rapidly poured light on the icon, and the whole tone of the work remained in monochromatic tones. Do not apply more complicated means of artistic expression and favored simplicity. Rublev entire plane while the works of light to penetrate evenly, which is painted with subtle and delicate colors. In this way, expressed the confidence and the hope of seeing the divine light and the world transformed under the influence of divine energies.

The Jesus prayer is very powerful in its simplicity. But it is not a method of meditation or simply a method to discipline the mind. It is much more. It enables us to participate in the life of Christ. It allows us to call Him into our thoughts and feelings continually, to make Him a part of our minds and hearts in a living way. This prayer brings Christ into every aspect of our life. It is with us no matter where we are or what we are doing. It eventually becomes a living part of us and is continually repeated in our heart. Remember, its aim is union with Christ and not some kind of spiritual experience or peaceful state. The Jesus Prayer has three important purposes. The first is worship as with all prayer. The second is a discipline to help our soul gain control our overactive brains and create stillness so the Holy Spirit can work through us and help us live the virtues in union with God. The third is deification.

The article “«Christian yoga»? A few reflections on the Jesus’ Prayer and hesychasm” is a kind of commentary on the Polish translation of the article “Becoming what we pray...” by Michel Plekon that is presented in the same issue of periodical “Kultury Wschodniosłowiańskie - oblicza i dialog”. Author tried to remind the most important facts and figures connected with the history of the Jesus’ Prayer and hesychasm. Moreover, there are described controversies concerning the physical method that was used by some hesychasts during practice of the Jesus’ Prayer. Additionally, one can readabout the role of the heart in Orthodox theology and prayer tradition of Eastern Church. This role can not be overtaxed because from the point of view of Orthodox theology, the heart is the centre of human being, person. It is not only the physical organ, not only the area of emotions and affections but also the space of intelligence, thoughts and wisdom. But most of all, the heart is the place of mysterious meeting of God and man. In the secret hall of human heart a man can fell silent presence of Transcendence, can fellthe real epiphany of God who unceasingly waits for metamorphosis of human being’smentality, thinking, reason, activity, emotions, relations, who waits for transformation of the whole man.

The article presents the problem of Jesus’ prayer both from the theoretical and practical side. It consists of several parts: an explanation of the concept and validity of this type of prayer, a brief presentation of its history, the transformation of structure, main elements, stages, practice and me- aning for spiritual life. The elaboration of the topic was made through analysis and then the synthe- sis of selected documents of the Church and publications on the Name of Jesus and the prayer with that Name. It was stated, inter alia, that Jesus’ prayer is a Trinitarian confession of faith, expresses the love for Christ, enables the activities of the Holy Spirit; brings inner peace, joy, warmth, li- ghtness. Jesus’ Prayer eases self-control, enlightens, permits a person to penetrate into the depths of God’s mysteries, reveals the meaning of Sacred Scripture, causes the person who is praying to consciously stay in God’s presence and to open himself to the saving presence and saving action of the Resurrected Christ. The awareness of God’s presence is in itself motivating to live for Christ.

The paper offers a contribution to the contemporary discussion on the hiddenness argument as it was formulated by J.L. Schellenberg. Starting from the famous statement of John of the Cross on the ultimate Word of God, it focuses on the Book of Revelation as somehow the very incarnation of such a word. Two rival interpretations of the chosen book are examined and confronted: one by D.H. Lawrence, and the other inspired by some selected writings of Silouan the Athonite. The former represents rather a critical and deconstructionist endeavour even if it is not totally deprived of a positive meaning (the forgotten vitality of the apocalyptic symbols). The latter suggests another hermeneutical possibility: the constructive and recapitulative one. This interpretation inspired by the exceptional hesychastic experience opens a practical orientation in reading of the Revelation and may be translated into more aesthetical terms. The perspective thus privileged to renew the senses seems to confirm backwardly the recapitulative reading following the hesychastic inspiration.

The concept of the divine image in the patristic thought has a very rich tradition and a well-developed semantics. In an exegetic interpretation one can find both a broad treatment of this concept and a very narrow one, the objective one. In the strict sense of this word, the Divine Image, on the image of whom was created man, is Christ, the Incarnate Logos, who has fulfilled the eternal, divine intent towards man and towards the whole creation, which was the divinisation and the state when God will be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28).

The influence of hesychasm on representation on Christ’s baptism isn’t so obvious as in the case of transfiguration, anastasis or koimesis. On the contrary to the mentioned above, it hasn’t had its own study. We can assume, that the rise of interest in hesychasm during the kingship of Milutin is connected to Milutin’s programme of translation important theological and philosophical texts into Serbian language. In all referred images, we can see a manifestation of the mystical light of God. In the case of transfigurations, koimesis and anastasis, this light is illustrated by mandorla (almond-shaped aureole) around Christ. In depictions of baptism, mandorla surround the dove of the Holy Spirit. In the Serbian art mandorla takes, repeatedly, very complicated shapes. Additionally, in the baptism and koimesis scenes, above Christ’s head, appear open doors of Heaven. This can emphasise presence of God.

This article is an attempt to analyse the Orthodox monastic tradition of contemplative (hesychastic) prayer, the goal of which was to achieve an ecstatic unification with God and the divinisation (theosis) of human nature. Until the 11th century the practice of this kind of prayer was passed on orally, preserving the spiritual father-disciple relation. However, some of its elements can be found in the writings of some of the Fathers of the Church – e.g. Athanasius of Alexandria, the Cappadocian Fathers – Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory of Nazianzus – as well as in the works of Evagrius of Pontus and John Climacus. The continuation of this tradition includes the works of the leading Byzantine theologist of the 11th century St Symeon the New Theologian (949-1022). However, it was not until the 14th century, as a result of the dispute caused by the statements of the Byzantine monk Barlaam of Calabria, that there was a systematic approach to hesychasm in Byzantine writings. In response, St Gregory Palamas (1296-1359), based on the book of the fathers of the Church, systematically described the doctrine of hesychasm in three treatises (triads) entitled In Defence of the Holy Hesychasts, and written in the years 1338-1341. This doctrine, sometimes known as palamism after St Gregory Palamas, was recognised as an authentic expression of Orthodox faith at the council in Constantinople in 1351. The article analyses the most important elements of the hesychastic method and descriptions of the visions experienced during the practice of it.
