Icons (or ikons) are symbolic pictures, usually depicting Christ, the Virgin Mary, or the saints. They are an important part of Orthodox worship and liturgical life. Icons help us encounter the grandeur of the mysteries of God through our bodily senses. Icons provide beauty in worship, teach theology, present those of the faith to imitate, and are helpful in transforming us. Most important of all, icons help us experience the Heavenly Kingdom on earth.
