Icons (Ikons) have formed an aspect of worship in the Christian
tradition from earliest times, with the first mention of the use of an
icon appearing in the apocryphal Acts of John. Early Christian
iconographers developed their images by including elements from Greek,
Roman and Egyptian art. In iconography, the robed figure of the bearded
philosopher, with fingers raised in a “teaching” gesture, and clasping
a book, was familiar throughout the ancient world, and it is not
surprising that this respected and venerated image should become
equated with that of Christ. View
