Religious Icons

Icons are not the same as religious pictures as we know them in the Western Church. Religious pictures appeal to our imagination and our feelings, and often tell a story. Icons are more for the liturgy and for contemplation. They appeal to our faith and our prayer. They are windows into heaven, showing their subjects as they are in glory, radiant and peaceful. Reverence shown to an icon is transferred directly to the one it represents.
