With the incarnation, the Almighty now has a human face, and will continue to have it throughout eternity. Thus we can create and venerate religious images but such veneration is always relative, always being referred back to the original, never absolute as though the material object is being venerated in and for itself. This veneration is honor paid to representations of Christ and the saints. Their purpose is to adorn, instruct, and excite to piety those who behold, wear, or carry images on their persons. (from the Modern Catholic Dictionary by Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.
