Icons
By the sixth century of the Common Era, Christian worship had taken on an entire litany of intercession including the use of icons and pilgrimages to places considered sanctified by the presence of Christ or the saints. "Proximity" quickly extended to the us of relics or "icons" - objects, rather than places - considered touched by Christ or the saints. Imagery began taking on spiritual significance and believed to have sacred powers of their own by the reign of Justinian I. This spawned a backlash among those who believed the Old Testament commandment against "graven images" resulting in iconoclasm, the destruction of these increasingly popular icons.

Icons have been used in almost all religions, as statues, frescoes and murals. The use of icons in Christian art began about two centuries after Christ, borrowing motifs from Roman imperial imagery, classical Greek and Roman religion and popular art of the time. By the seventh century, there was a strong reaction against the use of sacred images of Christ, Mary, the angels, and the saints in the Byzantine world. Icons were destroyed in many places and users of icons were punished and even exececuted.
