AI overview

An icon is a religious image, typically painted on wood, that depicts sacred figures like Jesus or saints and is used in Christian worship and devotion. Icons matter because they serve as spiritual focal points that help believers connect with the divine through visual representation, as seen in this 12th-century example showing monks ascending toward Jesus.
