In the Orthodox Church, there is no concept of the sacred heart known to High-Church Anglicans, Western Roman Catholics, and Lutherans. We believe that this concept of the sacred heart is exactly what Saint Athanasios of Alexandria was referring to when he said,
"We do not worship a created thing, but the Master of created things, the Word of God made flesh. Although the flesh itself, considered separately, is a part of created things, yet it has become the body of God. We do not worship this body after having separated it from the Word. Likewise, we do not separate the Word from the body when we wish to worship Him. But knowing that 'the Word was made flesh,' we recognise the Word existing in the flesh as God."


And we also believe that visions had by the promulgators of the sacred heart were unfounded, as did the Pope of Rome Pius VI
