Eastern Orthodox Icons in Celebration for Orthodox Sunday.

Orthodox Christains are approching our Great Lent and I decided to make this in honor for The Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy. February 21, 2010. The celebration is the victory of the iconodules over the iconoclasts by the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787 AD. All the Icons you see are written by one Iconographer who is my favorite. The music is Otche Nash (Our Father) The Lord's Prayer by Nikolai Kedrov, sung in Old Church Slavonic. I hope you enjoy and God Bless.

This is the Our Father playing in the back round correct?

In the Eastern Iconographic tradition, the names of the artists are not revealed on the face of the work. This is for two reasons.

I - The artist wishes not to distract from the depicted saint.

II - Historically art had not became the consumer commodity it is today. That is to say, the iconographic tradition is part of Church tradition and is not something which 'adds' to it.

Honorifically St. Luke is regarded as the first Christian iconographer.

These are absolutely wonderful! You don't give the name of the iconographer, though. Who created these amazing images?
