Thank you, Philip! It is very important to have a person to show where to look at.

I guess the main problem is to learn how to turn problems into opportunities for learning. If we do, life gets much more exciting ;)

[@АллаКиреева-з9к]

@@sacredmurals yes, exactly

[@Kerchblue]

Thank you very much. It was a very interesting conversation topic. It will take time and experience to be able to see through and develop our own vision and interpretation of these powerful images.

[@sacredmurals]

I am certain you will be surprised! :)

Hi Phillip, In my opinion, the icons shown are Russian style and are exquisite and can be deemed masterful works of art, and yet each Icon has something special to offer. When comparing decorative techniques and materials used do not point to the icon as more or less valuable, but perhaps more or less spiritual. The invitation is the intention when painting icons. Copying is greatly difficult and trying to reproduce icons is what keeps us from growing in our own times. We must study old icons yet must not copy them. Icons tell us so much about the spiritual state of the iconographer, the spiritual state of the church, and the spiritual state of the world. Thank you for the discussion, Grace
