"Any repudiation of the Lord's image is tantamount to a denial of the mystery of the incarnation."
-- Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
In Christiantity, an icon (from Greek εικων, eikon, "image") is a flat picture of Christ, Mary, or other saints. Most icons are painted in egg tempura on wood, but some are created with mosaic tiles, ivory, or other materials. In Orthodox Christianity, icons are sacred works of art that provide inspiration and connect the worshipper with the spiritual world. The scenes depicted in icons usually relate to liturgical celebrations rather than directly to historical events.
