History of the Icon
Hi, please excuse the clumsiness of this section. I translated this from a Greek source and there are some words that I just can not know the exact translation for some things. Example, what do we Orthodox call the iconographer in singular tense? Also, do Iconographers 'paint'? Is there a better word for this? Also, this icon was not painted by human hands ...in Greek there is a specific word for this ...do we have an English equivalent so that i can insert it into the correct spot of the Holy Tradition story?

- 'Iconographer' is the singular; iconographers most often 'write', based on an interesting justificatory translation from the Greek original, but they can equally-properly be said to paint; there is no specific word in English ('uncreated' might be the best we have, but the meaning is confusing) but it's easy enough to say that the icon wasn't written by humans.
- Also - OW doesn't have the concept that articles can be copywritten by editors - OW itself is considered to be the collective author...Orthodox Source does have that concept, though (indeed, that's what it was designed for). — edited by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 01:19, January 25, 2008 (PST)
