The depiction of the theme of the Restoration was created in the 14th century under the influence of processional representations of icons, as narrated in the illustration of the Akathist Hymn.

This theme initially portrays the historical event and from the 18th century the daily liturgical practice of the Church, signifying the procession of icons.

The figures depicted in liturgical time are related to the defense of the icons in both phases of the iconoclasm.

In the consciousness of the people, the message of the Restoration of the icons has a timeless character. This is not only due to its commemorative celebration but also to the importance of icons from the early Christian years to the present day, as evidenced by the sayings of the Fathers.
