In the Orthodox religion, icons have a deep symbolic meaning. They are not just images of saints, but also convey theological ideas. Icons help believers understand theological truths and gain spiritual well-being.
Icons also play an important role in culture and art. Many of them are works of art and have great artistic value. In Christian art, icons were an important genre of visual art, they helped to preserve and transmit the cultural heritage of Orthodoxy.
