Theodorus and Theophanes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theodorus (Greek: Θεοδώρος; ca. 775–ca. 842) and Theophanes (Greek: Θεοφάνης; ca. 778–845), called the Grapti (from Greek: γραπτοί, "written upon"), are remembered as proponents of the veneration of icons during the second Iconoclastic controversy. They were brothers and natives of Jerusalem.
