http://www.oramaworld.com/en/c/1000/Byzantine_Icons http://www.oramaworld.com/images/byzicons/handpainted/handpainted_christ_300.jpg The word Icon is derived from the Greek Eikon, meaning an image. Byzantine Icons are popularly known as the art of Eastern Orthodox Christianity (that is, the branch of Christianity which is peculiar to Byzantium, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria and Russia). But they are also much more. Graphically, they illustrate religious or patriotic stories from the Bible, the Chronicle, the lives (zhitie) of saints and other Christian sources. Byzantine Icons are both images of a more perfect world which Christians believe is present in or behind the world we can sense, and objects of prayer and veneration. Byzantine Icons were, and still are, created for prayer and liturgical use in the church and for personal prayers at home or in travel. Byzantine Icons often were so beautifully and skillfully made, that they also have attracted the attention of private collectors and museums. Byzantine Icons can be seen in churches and museums all over the world today. Click here to read more about the <a href='/orthodox_icons.html' title='Orthodox Icons'>Orthodox Byzantine Icons</a>!

It is often made of precious metal and may be adorned with enamelwork, and precious or semi-precious gemstones. It may also have other icons on it, such as the Theotokos (Mother of God), John the Baptist, the Four Evangelists or Prophets. In the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite, the hand cross is kept on the Holy Table (altar) and used at certain moments during the liturgy, most noticeably at the dismissal when he holds it in his right hand as he gives the final blessing. After the dismissal of the Divine Liturgy (Eucharist) all of the faithful come forward to kiss the cross. The blessing cross used by these churches often has an icon of the Crucifixion of Jesus on it, together with the letters IC XC NIKA (meaning, 'Jesus Christ Conquers'). Blessing crosses may also be two-sided, having an icon of the Crucifixion on one side and an icon of the Resurrection on the other. The side with the Resurrection would be held out towards the people on Sundays and throughout the afterfeast of Pascha (Easter). Our Blessing Crosses are made by experienced craftsmen whose talent and love for the art of worship offer a guarantee for responsible work of top standards.

Historically it typically had 100 knots, although prayer ropes with 50 or 33 knots can also be found in use today. There is typically a knotted cross at one end, and a few beads at certain intervals between the knots. Its invention is attributed to Saint Pachomius in the fourth century as an aid for illiterate monks to accomplish a consistent number of prayers and prostrations. Monks were often expected to carry a prayer rope almost constantly, to remind them to pray constantly in accordance with Saint Paul's injunction in I Thessalonians 5:17, "Pray without ceasing." In some Russian Orthodox service books, certain liturgies can be replaced at need by praying the Jesus Prayer a specified number of times, anywhere from 300 to 1,500 times depending on the service being replaced. In this way prayers can still be said even if the service books are unavailable for some reason. The use of a prayer rope is a very practical tool in such cases, simply for keeping count of the prayers said. According to a popular legend, the prayer Rope has its origins from the Father of Orthodox Monasticism, St. Anthony. He started by tying a leather rope for every time he prayed his Kyrie Eleisons, or Lord have Mercies, and the Devil came and would untie it to throw his count off. He then devised a way, inspired from a vision by the Theotokos (Mother of God), of tying the knots so that the knots would constantly make the shape of the cross. That is why Prayer Ropes today are still tied by little crosses being tied over and over. The Devil could then not untie it because the Devil is vanquished by the sign of the Cross.
