* Icons are
flat pictures, usually painted in egg tempera on wood, but also wrought in
mosaic, ivory, and other materials, to represent the Lord, the heavenly
creatures and saints. * We honor the icons (holy
pictures) because they remind us of our
Lord Jesus Christ, heavenly creatures and saints. * Icons are anointed with
Chrism (Myron) to be sanctified by the Holy Spirit. * We don't worship icons but
we honor saints. * Statues are forbidden.
