Abstract

The subject of this paper is origin and meaning of light in Domentijan's hagiography. The work explores ontological dimension of concept of light, and divinity as its essence and condition of existence. Serbian hagiographer takes us into unconstructed, not yet created world of divine light whose mystery is as unfathomable as secret of the world creation. In his hagiographies, by using symbolic and metaphorical representations Domentijan is building up a theology of light that is both mystical and enlightening in nature. For this medieval literary creator the idea of light has a theological background and foundation. Domentijan is more interested in existential aspect of this category and its metaphysical character.
