Emperor Leo III, 717-741, ordered that the relief of Christ on the Chalke Gate at the entrance to the imperial palace be replaced with a cross bearing the inscription "I drive out the enemies and kill the barbarians." Scholars are divided whether to refer to him as an iconoclast, or merely that he wanted to revert to the symbol used by Constantine This Emperor Leo III has nothing to do with the Reformation.

Are statues of Mary of Nazareth and crucifixes blasphemy on the 2nd Commandment?
Absolutely not! If they are idolatrous, then everyone on earth who has photos of family members, sports heroes or teen idols around the house is also guilty of blasphemy. Statues or pictures of saints or crucifixes are simply aids to prayer. They help us focus our prayer or meditation. Who can look at a crucifix without remembering the extreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ to save our souls from sin? We do not worship statues or crucifixes. Worship belongs to God alone. They are simply spiritual aids.
