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