icon
icon. An image of a saint or other holy personage, particularly when the image is regarded by the devotee as sacred in itself and capable of facilitating contact between him or her and the personage portrayed. The term, which derives from the Greek word
eikōn, meaning ‘likeness’, has been applied particularly to sacred images of the
Byzantine Church and the Orthodox Churches of Russia and Greece.
