a sacred image or depiction of our Lord, or of His saints, or of some sacred event. These, like the Gospel book and the cross, are objects of veneration by the faithful, but not of absolute worship, which is due to God alone. The reverence accorded these objects is directed to their prototype, to the one who is portrayed. In Russian or Slavonic, they are also called images (obrazy). These were the subject of controversy in the Church during the seventh and eighth centuries, when a faction called iconoclasts, or icon-breakers, gained power in the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, and persecuted those that venerated icons on the pretext of combating idolatry. Iconoclasm was condemned by the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787, which affirmed the distinction between absolute worship and veneration, and approved the veneration of icons since they portray God incarnate, the Lord Jesus Christ. The controversy continued, however, until the final restoration of icons in 842, which is now celebrated on the first Sunday of Lent at the Triumph of Orthodoxy.
