From the introduction
The Orthodox Church preserved an immense wealth both in the realm of liturgical life and patristic thought, as well as in ecclesiastical art. We know that veneration of icons holds a very significant place because the icon is not merely a simple depiction, nor just a decoration, nor even an illustration of the Holy Scriptures. It is something more: equal in importance to the Gospel message, it is a liturgical vessel that fully participates in the liturgical life.
This explains the importance that the Church assigns to representation, not to any depiction, but to the specific image which it has shaped throughout its history, during its struggle against paganism and heresies, the icon whose very cost was the blood of a large number of martyrs and confessors during the iconoclastic period: the Orthodox icon.
In the icon, the Church does not see only a form of Orthodox teaching but the universal expression of Orthodoxy, that very Orthodoxy itself.
