==Egyptian masks==
Christianity was instituted by Jesus or Word of God or God, the Creator of Universe. I don't think that God needed to be inspired by gurus that are simple men, or by Egyptian religion or other religions as some nonsensical ideas claim. Do you?
Who comes when people ask for God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=babKPGNqlOs The man in the movie probably did not ask for knowing best Christian denomination. The ones I know about asking, arrived at Estern Orthodox Church.--[[User:Pasadi97|Pasadi97]] 16:21, January 27, 2013 (HST)

Well, icons, as you know, are more than just religious art. These "windows to heaven" depict the very men and women who have achieved theosis. They were made for the illiterate. St. John of Damascus said, "What the book does for those who understand letters, the image does for the illiterate." As the scriptures are written, so are icons, as they teach us in a similar manner of the Bible. (I am participating in the St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival, and my topic is about icons, that's where I get all of my information). --[[User:Iliada|Iliada]] 00:47, March 16, 2009 (UTC)
: I agree with your theological point here, but I'm still not sure why this means that ''painted'' is a bad translation and ''written'' is the correct one. (There is no difference between the two words in Greek—indeed, there is only one word—so an insistence on a difference in English is, by definition, an innovation.)
: Church architecture, chanting, and preaching also accomplish this same sort of thing in other ways, yet, to my knowledge, there are no objections against ''building, singing, preaching'', etc.
: Anyway, see the section of the article on this particular question. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

Ok, then there must be a change made on the [[Theotokos of Tikhvin]] page, because it says that it is believed to be an icon "written" by the apostle Luke. The same applies to the [[Theotokos of the Passion]], and the [[Diocese of Los Angeles and the West (Antiochian)]] pages. Also, for my speech, I said that some people think that Luke wrote the first icon, and others think it was when St. Veronica placed a cloth to Christ's face. But here I see that Ainaius did it in a similar fashion. Which of the two not by hands happened first? --<font color="teal">[[User:Iliada|Iliada]]</font><font color="teal" size="100px"></font> 18:11, March 17, 2009 (UTC)
:Thank you, so changed.[[User:Wsk|Wsk]] 20:36, March 17, 2009 (UTC)
There's really nothing wrong with saying that icons are "written." It's the insistence that they are not "painted" which makes no sense. Either translation is faithful to the Greek, though in different ways. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

== Dead Link to Russian Icons ==
The external link to the Russian Icons gallery here:
http://www.auburn.edu/academic/liberal_arts/foreign/russian/icons/
returned a 404. I found this one on the Auburn site:
http://www.auburn.edu/~mitrege/russian/icons/index.html
and it looks like the same page (according to googles cache of the original link.) I changed it on the main page, but could it be possible that ~mitrege does not want it linked to from here? [[User:Joey1978|Joey1978]] 04:42, June 6, 2009 (UTC)
