Legal Basis for Symbolism Disappearance in Sacral Art

Abolition of regulations that were not good [Ezek 20, 25]

Summary/Abstract: Symbolism is a characteristic of the ancient Christian art. Symbolic and character representations did not seek realism and credibility. Its sacral meaning considered as consecrated was wrapped in esoteric language, but behind simple images, reality lies deep within. Symbolic language expanded and developed easily. However, clear art relieved old symbols and all elements hiding its content. The Quinisext council rule gives first more specific shape of art theory and foundation for the further art growth. In the previous period symbolism was dominant but it was temporary in nature. Symbolism was ―other statutes that were not good‖ (Ez 20, 25).
