Summary/Abstract: This study represents the second part of the project dedicated to researching the patristic, anthropological and spiritual meanings of painting, sculpture and music. His main theme is the highlighting and analysis of the dogmatic and spiritual meanings of the techniques of making statues in patristic contexts, from the Greek theological tradition, about man and the spiritual life. The selection of texts was based on the principle of their representativeness. The study sheds light on the appreciation of the sculpture by the Holy Fathers and its use as an example for understanding the human structure, education and the spiritual reason of man.
