This is the first icon I got. I purchased it from our previous Sr. pastor because they were selling 'all' of their possessions to teach children in China on a five year commitment.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to icons to be honest.

I just bought an icon of this version, Virgin of the Passion.

One of the most beautiful icons I've ever seen, and one of my all time favorites.

I'm fine with icons. An Ecumenical Council specifically approved of them, IF my memory serves me. I think they are often beautiful art. They are not a part of Western Christianity but that has nothing to do with their beauty or worth.

I really loved all of the diptychs and triptychs I observed in my Art History class a year ago. One of my favorites was Robert Campin's Mérode Altarpiece from the 15th century.

It was a different icon, same style though.
