These "carved images" are not being worshiped my freind. They are a reminder and a window into the life of christ and the Saints. When we show respect for these icons we pass it on to those being presented. Please do not judge. I only ask you talk to an Orthodox priest about any questions you have about our faith.

Awful quick.....what with the Ark of the Covenant and all....do the images not count if they are carved from gold?

Becarful not to judge wrong just because you dont know.

My wife and I attend an OCA Orthodox Church in America parish in MIssissippi USA. We formerly attended a Greek Orthodox Church.

Weird how we forget that Jesus was Human too-an image of the living God. And besides these are painted icons- a visual scripture if you will.

Probably the same thing he would have said when he saw the golden Cherubim upon the Ark of the Covenant.

Someone should have reminded God of that before He became Human. Berfore he bacame an Image of God in human form on the earth of whom we Christians worship.

i wonder what Moses would say if he saw all these carved images, did he not warn in Deut 4 never to do that?weird how people forget Law of Most high so quick.

And is it safe to say PhaqtebiDaBiblia that you think yourself enlightened and perfect when you judge the whole Orthodox Christian faith based on the actions of those who do such foolish things?
