Icontherapy from view of the clients
MRÁZOVÁ, Anna
The thesis will be dedicated to the topic of iconotherapy, which the author already addressed in her bachelor's thesis. In the theoretical chapters, she presents iconotherapy. At the same time, it will clarify the theological views on the essence of icons as well as psychological connections (problems of motivation and will) and psychotherapeutic directions that are somewhat related to iconotherapy (logotherapy, existential approach of I. Yalom, orthodox psychotherapy). The work will include qualitative research, which will be carried out through in-depth semi-structured interviews with people who have undergone iconotherapy. A consideration of the possible application of iconotherapy will also be included.

Saint Francis' quest for the Crucified through the San Damiano Cross
Růžička, Jakub ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Červenková, Denisa (referee)
Saint Francis' quest for the Crucified through the San Damiano Cross Abstract The encounter with the Crucified is the constitutive element of the spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi. The objective of my thesis is finding the deeper understanding of Francis' perception of the cross. The topic should be elucidated by the San Damiano Cross Icon and other moments of the Saint of Assisi's life. The study of Francis' relation to the cross will be put into an appropriate context: the theology of the cross is mainly ingrained in the Jesus Christ's Mystery of Easter. This knowledge is deepened in life of the Early Church and, through the enriching epoch-making interposition even the "poor little" of Assisi may experience its fruits. In the fundamental part of the text I will organize the key materials for the study of Francis' relation to the crucified Christ contained in the franciscan sources with the help of the newest literature. Therefore the thesis will offer a complex view to one of the crucial moments of Francis' conversion. Keywords Saint Francis of Assisi, San Damiano, icon, cross, theology of the cross, The Crucified, history of the cross, speaking cross, franciscan sources, St. Paul, St. Bonaventure

The first part is devoted to the meaning of a religious picture - an icon in the context of historical development of Byzantine art and Christian thinking. It presents Theofan the Greek as the author of the icon and the doctrine about the uncreated nature of the Light of Tabor, that emerged in his time and might have influenced his work. The second part is devoted to the nterpretation of the Transfiguration icon. It consist of an explication of the biblical texts which are related to the Transfiguration and reflects other possible resources of depiction: apocryphal texts and liturgy. The conclusion of the thesis holds the interpretation of the icon.

The Fast of the Eyes (Contemporary Sacred Architecture in Theory: Churches of the Holy Spirit in Ostrava and Šumná)
Brázda, Mikuláš ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Veselý, Dalibor (referee)
The Fast of the Eyes (Abstract) Analysis of the conditions of possibility of the dialogue that I lead with the building itself reveals the latter as an icon/event, and thus also provides one privileged method for unlocking its meaning - architectural θεωρία. Only in such a theory (which - at its purest - is performed by the elaborate interweaving of independent narratives), I argue, it is possible to see that which only makes architecture sacred: permeation of architecture and liturgy, building and community. The concluding answer (made possible by the account given) is - if the argument is correct - provided by the building itself.
