Hosios Lukas also had the gift of prophecy, and predicted the Bulgarian invasion of Greece, the liberation of Crete, and his own death in 953.

 ANISTORITON Journal of History, Archaeology, ArtHistory: ArtHistory
Closer inspection, however, reveals that the Hosios Lukas mosaics were executed by various groups of mosaicists, who contributed in varying degrees to the stylistic evolution of mid Byzantine pictorial art, while remaining faithful to the hieratic style*5, a trait d’union of the whole mosaic composition.
The iconography is typical of Byzantine art: it is faithful to the strictly hierarchical scheme in which the church is interpreted symbolically as an image of the cosmos and the liturgical cycle.
At Hosios Lukas, however, symbolism, made up by the communicative gestures of the figures and the scene’s naturalistic elements, is dominant.

The lowest portions of the interior corresponded to the small areas that lay between the arms of the cross and the large square within which the whole church was contained.
The typical decorative scheme of the cross-in-the-square church can be readily reconstructed from the fragmentary mosaic cycles in Hosios Lukas, Daphni, and several other 11th-century churches in Greece.
The scheme was based on the hierarchical disposition of the subjects in ascending scale of importance.

Hosios Lukas oder Osios Loukas (griechisch Όσιος Λουκάς) ist neben Daphni und Nea Moni eines der wichtigsten Klöster in Griechenland.

 Byzantine Empire 3 - Crystalinks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Monumental art again exhibited relatively naturalistic and strongly modeled three-dimensional figures, often characterized by a restrained dignity and noble grandeur, as in the mosaic of the Virgin and Child (867) still in place in the apse of Hagia Sophia.
Within the newly developed and standardized Byzantine Greek-cross church, such figures were organized into consistent programs best preserved today in the churches of Hosios Lukas in central Greece (c.1000) and Daphninear Athens (c.1100).
At Daphni, the Pantocrator - Christ as Lord of the Universe - appears at the summit of the central dome, and the Virgin is represented in the apse above the altar as the instrument of Christ's incarnation.
