Report Blog Entry
This blog is dedicated to iconography, sacred art, and religous symbols.
I will mainly post images of Christian icons and other spiritual artworks, focusing on their visual beauty. The religious meaning isnΒ΄t my main interest, IΒ΄m simply fascinated by how beautiful these artworks are and the symbolism behind them :p.
I was born Orthodox Christian, later converted to Islam, and have Jewish heritage from my motherΒ΄s side, but today I lowkey follow my own personal spirituality.
Most of the pictures are from Pinterest, check my Pinterest for my other pinboards :p
IΒ΄m still working on this blog, even though I donΒ΄t have much time right now.
I loveeeeee silver :>
The faces on many Orthodox icons appear dark or obscured because the artists use symbolic shading to express spiritual mystery rather than realistic human features and itβs often not allowed in other religions to show the faces of for example prophets (Islam).
I took this foto in Prague btw.
I love these small angel figures, these baby angels are called putti (singular: putto)
took this photo in Wiesbaden, Germany

Have you heard of the painting Dead Christ (Holbein) ? Breathtaking work. Caused Dostoyevsky to nearly have a seizure :3
