During the 8th century dispute over the use of icons, known as the Iconoclast Controversy, the supporters of icons, or Iconodules, were primarily the monks and many church leaders, particularly in the Eastern Roman Empire. Prominent figures included St. John of Damascus, who defended the veneration of icons through theological arguments. The support for icons was rooted in the belief that icons served as important tools for teaching and connecting the faithful with the divine.

The ban on icons, known as Iconoclasm, sparked significant debate within the Byzantine Empire, dividing the populace between iconoclasts, who supported the ban, and iconodules, who opposed it. The controversy was rooted in differing interpretations of religious doctrine, with some viewing icons as essential to worship and others as idolatrous. This conflict over the role of images in Christianity not only affected religious practices but also had political implications, contributing to tensions between the church and state. Ultimately, the iconoclast policies led to a protracted period of strife and debate within the empire.
In the Byzantine Empire, the debate over icons centered on their religious significance and role in worship. Iconoclasts argued that the veneration of icons constituted idolatry, violating the biblical commandment against graven images, while iconophiles defended icons as important tools for spiritual connection and education, helping the faithful to visualize and relate to divine figures. This conflict led to periods of intense persecution and political strife, particularly during the Iconoclast Controversy from the 8th to the 9th centuries. Ultimately, the veneration of icons was reaffirmed at the Second Council of Nicaea in 787, which recognized their importance in Orthodox Christianity.
