Summary/Abstract: Starting from the wording Unus de Trinitatepassusest carne, the present study aims to discover through the Christology of the Scythian monks (Dacian-Romans) those essential elements of the iconic anthropology that make transparent the theological perspective of assuming the human body by the Divine Logos who, by becoming human , became His body forever, to shine through it the light and the life of the divinity in the epectasis process of deification. Thus the value and the mystery of the body illustrates the fulfillment of the human as an essential factor in the theological thinking referring to the possibility of the iconographic representation of the Son of God, of God’s Mother, of the saints and of the deifying events in the economy of the salvation.
