Lesson 15 Icon
The word "icon" in translation from Greek means "image". The Bible says that every person is the image of God.
The icon differs markedly from the picture. This is because the task of the icon is to show the innermost world of the soul of a holy person.
In the Gospel, Light is one of the names of God and one of His manifestations. Therefore, light is the main thing in an icon. Not a single object in the icon casts a shadow.
If the icon painter wants to make it clear that the action takes place inside the premises, he still draws this building from the outside. But over it or between buildings it throws a curtain - velum (in Latin “sail”).
Iconographers call the golden background of the icon light. It is a symbol of infinite divine Light.
The head of the saint is surrounded by a golden circle - a halo - a sign of God's grace, which permeates the life and thoughts of the saint.
The halo often extends beyond the edges of the iconic space. This means that the light of the icon is streaming into our world.
There is no disorder on the icon. Even the folds of the clothes are conveyed by straight and harmonious lines. The icon painter conveys inner harmony through outer harmony.
In contrast to the painting, the icon has no background and no horizon. The icon, as a bright source of light, shines into the world, and in this light every earthly distance becomes invisible.
The most striking thing in the icon is the faces (faces) and eyes. Wisdom and love appear in the faces. The eyes express joyful sadness.

Is dear to me, before the icon In a light golden robe, This ardent wax, Kindle by someone unknown hand. I know - the candle is burning, the Clear sings solemnly: Someone's grief subsides, Someone quietly sheds tears, This is a bright moment In the wild darkness and wilderness, Memory of tears and tenderness Into the eternity of a soul that has looked ... A. Maikov
Slide 3
The icon is an amazing, completely unique phenomenon in the world of human culture. We can find various images of Christ, the Mother of God and saints both in Catholic and Protestant churches, but icons in the sense that it acquired in Orthodox culture are nowhere else. The icon is one of the main symbols of Orthodox art.
Slide 4
The icon is an integral part of the Orthodox tradition. In Russia, it has long been customary: a person was born or died, got married or started some important business - he was accompanied by an icon-painting image. The entire history of Russia passes under the sign of the icon, many miraculous and glorified icons were witnesses and participants in the most important historical changes in the fate of the country.
Slide 5
The word "icon" is of Greek origin and literally means "image". Therefore, in Russia, icons were often called images. The icon is a written prayer in Orthodoxy. Its content is not made up of historical epochs and not the richness of a person's mental life, but the union of a person with God.
Slide 6
It is impossible to imagine an Orthodox church without Orthodox icons. The row of icons separating (connecting) the altar from the central part of the temple is the iconostasis. In the center of the iconostasis there are doors called the Royal Gates (gates). To the right of the Royal Doors is always the icon of Christ. On the left is always an icon of Mary, the Mother of God ...
Slide 7
The icon helps the believer in prayer and is, as it were, a "window" to the spiritual world, a "guide" to God. Thanks to the icon and prayer, an Orthodox person can turn to Him, spiritually unite with Him. Therefore, believers treat icons with care, revere them, thereby expressing their feelings for God, for the Mother of God, for holy people who, according to the teachings of the Church, are all alive in the spiritual world, you can communicate with them by turning to them in prayer.
Slide 8
Any unworthy treatment of an icon was considered sacrilege (an insult to a religious shrine). The one entering the house, first of all, bowed to the icons, and then greeted the owners. Since ancient times, almost every large city or monastery had its own, especially revered miraculous icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, which it considered to be its glory and affirmation.
Slide 9
The pictorial icon differs markedly from the picture. This is because the task of the icon is to show the innermost world of the soul of a holy person (including the God-man Christ). The icon is not an ordinary picture. The well-known historian and art critic Nikolai Mikhailovich Tarabukin wrote in one of his books: "The meaning of the icon is mysterious ... the meaning of the icon is miracles."

Slide 11
In contrast to the painting, the icon has no background and no horizon. When you look at a bright light source (sun or spotlight), you lose the feeling of space and depth. The icon shines in our eyes, and in this light every earthly distance becomes invisible.
Slide 12
Light is the main thing in the icon. In the Gospel, Light is one of the names of God and one of His manifestations. Iconographers call the golden background of the icon "light". It is a symbol of infinite divine Light.
Slide 13
The saint's head is surrounded by a golden circle. The saint is, as it were, filled with light, and he himself, having been nourished by it, radiates it. This is a halo (halo) - a sign of God's grace, which permeated the life and thought of the saint and inspired his love. This halo often extends beyond the edges of the iconic space. This is not because the artist made a mistake and did not calculate the size of his drawing. This means that the light of the icon is streaming into our world.

Slide 14
One of the difficulties in the development of Christian painting was that it was necessary to answer a difficult question: how can one paint icons at all if the Bible itself emphasizes that God is invisible.
Slide 15
The icon became possible because after the Old Testament came the New Testament. The Gospel says that God, who remained invisible in Old Testament times, was then himself born as a man. The apostles saw Christ with their own eyes. And what is seen can be depicted.
Slide 16
Only a person with a special gift from God could be an icon painter. Throughout his life, he had to bear the unceasing feat of prayer, strive for moral perfection. Icon painters in Ancient Rus were almost exclusively monks (monks).
Slide 17
The first icon painter was the Evangelist Luke, and the first Russian icon painter Alimpiy Pechersky. Icons by famous icon painters Andrei Rublev, Theophanes the Greek, Dionisy, Simon Ushakov and thousands of nameless masters are included in the treasury of world spiritual art, but, above all, are the property of the Russian people.
Slide 18
Icon painters depict on icons the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, angels, saints who deserve veneration after their righteous life even after death, as well as events from the Old Testament and New Testament Sacred History, which are celebrated by the Orthodox Church as holidays. The most common and famous are the icons of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God.
Slide 19

The first icon of Jesus Christ has a miraculous, supernatural origin. According to legend, she appeared during the life of Jesus Christ. This is "Savior Not Made by Hands" (or "Savior on the Ubrus") (ubrus is a piece of canvas on which, as the ancient church tradition says, the Image (Face) of Jesus Christ was imprinted).
The icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands (VI century) from the Temple of San Silvestro in Capite in the Vatican is considered one of the closest lists from the legendary "original" Image of Christ Not Made by Hands
Slide 23
Slide 24
Above the entrance to the northern gallery of the Kremlin's Annunciation Cathedral, there is an image of the Savior Not Made by Hands - a fresco created, presumably, by Simon Ushakov in 1661.
Slide 25
On the basis of this first image of the Lord Jesus Christ, the iconography of Jesus Christ, adopted in the Church, subsequently developed. The first images of Christ that have come down to us date back to the second century after the Nativity of Christ.
Slide 26
A special place in the soul of an Orthodox Christian is occupied by the Mother of God - our Intercessor, Patroness and Comforter, who chose Orthodox Russia as Her chosen inheritance.
Icon of the Theotokos Tenderness
Slide 27
From the very first centuries of the adoption of Christianity, the Russian people were imbued with deep love and reverence for the Mother of God. One of the first churches, built in Kiev during the reign of Prince Vladimir, was dedicated to the Mother of God. In the 12th century, a new holiday was introduced into the Russian church calendar - the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos. This holiday testified that the Orthodox believe in the patronage of the Mother of God of the Russian land.
