What does Kalon mean?
Kalon (ka-LON) is Greek for beautiful or beauty. Genesis 1:31 says, “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good (kalon). And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.” In the context of Genesis 1, kalon extends beyond aesthetic beauty to include ethical and moral implications, and points to our dignity as creatures made in the image of God.
