The Truth About Icon Veneration: Heresy or Holy Tradition?

Are Icons a form of Idolatry? Many Protestants worry that venerating icons crosses the line into idol worship—but is that really what’s happening in Orthodox Christianity? In this engaging discussion, we explore the difference between worship and veneration, the purpose of icons as “windows to heaven,” and how Church history—including the 7th Ecumenical Council—clarifies their role. We also touch on the Shroud of Turin and its remarkable similarity to the icon of Christ of Sinai. #OrthodoxChristianity #Icons #Idolatry #ChurchHistory #ChristianUnity
