Literacy certainly wasn't necessary, since the Word was preached.

Some churches do not even have crosses or pictures of lambs, adhering to a spiritual rather than a visual adoration. I go along with them.

I am not totally critical of the others, but I wouldn't put creating icons or looking at them in church at the same level as contemplating His truth. Nowhere near it.

I would not persume to know more than God The Father....He entrusted Jesus ...divine and human nature....to us, His children through this woman...(Mary is her name) to the world. I’ll take her. She can pray for me all she wants. I need all the help I can get.
