Most Protestant Christians do not use any artifacts when praying. Catholic Christians use the rosary.

What is the main idol Russians worship?
An idol is a physical things such as a painting or statue which people regard as being divine and is worshipped. Russian Orthodox Christians do not worship idols; they worship only God. They often use religious paintings, called icons, when they pray. Traditionally, an icon is painted on wood and only after the artist has spent a great deal of time in prayer to seek God's guidance. For Orthodox Christians, icons are "windows into heaven" and represent the person who has been painted, but the icon is not worshipped. Probably the main Russian Orthodox icons would be of Christ and His Mother, Mary the Theotokos (God-bearer).
