ON THE ORIGIN OF ALL OF CREATION REJOICES IN YOU ICONOGRAPHY

Studies into hymnographic texts remain relevant for domestic and foreign researchers. This article focuses on All of Creation Rejoices in You hymn and the corresponding iconographic image bearing the same name. The analysis examines the main stages of the development of the All of Creation Rejoices in You iconographic type associated with the name of the theologian John of Damascus and studies the figurative and semantic content of the elements of this type. An important concept used in the study is the iconological method, which allows for a deeper understanding of the symbolism of images and their relationship to the texts of the hymn. This approach allows both analyzing visual elements, and interpreting them in the context of cultural and historical traditions, which opens up new horizons in understanding the relationship between text and image. Thus, the work highlights the importance of the relationship between hymnography and iconography as an essential part of the spiritual and cultural tradition. The study of this relationship expands the understanding of medieval culture and religious art. The study of hymnographic texts and iconographic images contributes to a better insight into the spiritual heritage and its impact on modern art and culture.
