Well that was an interesting line. There was a council of Heireia in 754 ( I think..) in which the so-called Iconoclasts condemned the spiritual and liturgical use of iconography as heretical. A lot of icons and other spiritual images were destroyed in the Byzantine empire. This council took place in Heireia, which was a small town opposite of Constantinople.what does heireia mean? Also she mentioned giving up the church.... What's that??..
So the line "I have given up church out of boredom" could also refer to this event, since the iconoclasts gave up the spiritual and liturgical use of images in churches and even destroyed them.
