Icon (Greek εικων - eikon - literally: image) is a sacred image, most often painted (written) on wood, originating from Byzantine culture. It depicts figures of saints, scenes from their lives and biblical motifs. The icon is characteristic of Orthodox and Greek Catholic Christian temples - churches. The character of the icon is based on traditional Byzantine aesthetics - it shows the opposition between good and evil, the supernatural world and the earthly world, etc. It leads to a symbolic rendering of the world (icon art = art of symbols). In fact, icons are not painted but written, just as the Holy Scriptures were written, because the icons represent the Holy Scriptures in pictures.
