Icons of saints

Orthodox icons of Saints are highly spread in Christian iconography. Figures are very similar because first icon writers of orthodox icons took their examples from the Antient Greek, and thus their artistic expression was followed and subordinated. The Saint on the icon is the one who is in the heaven and is depicted in glory.

Christian icons of Saints are very popular. In the past people used to put them in their home altar..
