 Coptic Icons

Spacer

Icon is a word which describes a religious picture, which is used to depict the image of God. Today, the word "icon" is primarily associated with the paintings of the Orthodox Churches. Icons have prominent place in the life and worship of the Orthodox Church.

The word "icon" is derived from the Greek "eikon" or from the Coptic word "eikonigow" both of which are similar in their pronunciation. The word icon is used in the Greek Bible in the Old Testament where it says, "Then God said, let us make man in our image, so God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created" [Genesis 1:26-27]. This word is also used in the New Testament (the Greek Bible) in the Epistle of St. Paul to the Colossians, "He is the image of the invisible God" [Col 1:15].
