Eastern Orthodox iconography is a religious art form that primarily features icons, which are sacred images representing Christ, the Virgin Mary, saints, and biblical events. These icons are created using specific techniques, often painted on wooden panels, and are characterized by their use of vibrant colors, gold leaf, and symbolic imagery. The purpose of these icons is to serve as a visual representation of spiritual truths and to aid in worship. They are often used in Eastern Orthodox churches and homes, inviting the faithful to engage in prayer and contemplation, connecting them to the divine.
