In Christiantity, an icoon (from Greek εικων, eikon, "image") is a flat picture of Christ, Mary, of other saints. Most iconen are painted in egg tempura on wood, but some are created with mozaiek tiles, ivory, of other materials. In Orthodox Christianity, iconen are sacred works of art that provide inspiration and connect the worshipper with the spiritual world. The scenes depicted in iconen usually relate to liturgical celebrations rather than directly to historical events.
