How do Protestant Catholic and Greek Orthodox religious images compare?
Most Protestant's tend not to use imagery because they consider it idolatrous. However it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary for a Protestant to have an image of Jesus in his/her home. Catholic's tend to use statuary and images such as the Sacred Heart of Jesus, The Immaculate Heart of Mary, and various Saints. Eastern Orthodox, and by extension Eastern Catholics, almost exclusively use Icon's (also spelled "Ikon").

Does the Eastern Orthodox religion believe in cremation?
No, the Eastern Orthodox Church does not allow cremation. The Christian Church from the earliest times practiced burial of the dead, as the Roman catacombs reveal. Christ resurrected the bodies of many people during His ministry on earth, such as Lazarus, and His disciples also performed many miracles and even resurrected the dead (Acts 9:36-41). So the Eastern Orthodox Church views cremation as a mockery of Christ and His Apostles who resurrected human bodies, not ashes. Additionally, during the great earthquake that happened immediately after Christ's death on the Cross, the graves opened up and the bodies of the saints were raised from the dead (Matthew 27:51-54). Cremation has also been the custom of most atheists and the pagan religions, which do not believe in resurrection, and that is another reason why the Eastern Orthodox Church has always been against it.
