Pope Leo, St Peter & St. Paul Attila turned around
Rome Pope Leo I (440 -461) Leo was called “the great” Most important accomplishment – And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Icons "If I point to a statue of Caesar and ask you 'Who is that?', your answer would properly be, 'It is Caesar.' When you say such you do not mean that the stone itself is Caesar, but rather, the name and honor you ascribe to the statue passes over to the original, the archetype, Caesar himself.“ – St Basil the Great
