Online Icons

[LordNecro]

I’m a student and thus don’t have money to throw around on icons and so forth, but I would like to be able to access some high quality ones on my computer - particularly those of events within the Rosary. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Cheers!

Your request for me is amusing - Orthodox Ikons about Latin Rosary. But in fact, friend Necro, almost all such rosarian mysteries can be found among the Feast Icons. I have given you link to site with beautiful such icons from Serbia. and examples appropriate for Latin rosaria:

Possible? Yes.
Easy? Not always.

Lol I’m aware of the irony of orthodox icons for the latin rosary! But hey, I think they go well together!

Those were very beautiful! Sorry to be a n00b but do you know are there any of the Assumption and also Mary’s coronation? I’m under the impression that the Orthodox Church doesn’t accept those two concepts?

Also still looking for:

• Annunciation
• Visitation
• Finding in the Temple
• Wedding at Cana
• Sermon on the Mount/Christ preaching
• Gethsemane
• Scourging
• Crown of Thorns/“Ecce Homo”

Dear Fried Necro: all these ikons can be found. You must only use search engine to find. But here are some of those:

The Visitation is when Mary went to Elizabeth, whilst both were pregnant. Mary, with Jesus, and Elizabeth with St. John the Forerunner.

Mary Crowned as Tsaritsa of Heaven:

(This is interesting icon, found in March 1917, by woman told in a dream to find an icon- just as Tsar Nikolai II was being killed. This was taken by many to mean that Mother of God would be Tsaritsa for House of Mother of God (old name of Rus’).

That is really interesting.

According to Orthodox iconology/theology I read though that any other depiction of The Father that wasn’t in Rublev’s Trinity was considered incorrect.

I can’t remember if it was The Father that shouldn’t be depicted in any other way than in Rublev’s Trinity icon, or if it was The Trinity Itself that had no other representation iconographically to Orthodox…I hope this makes sense

Different groups have different approaches to depicting the Trinity both in the Icon of the Trinity and in other Icons.

I’ve seen one version of the Trinity where all three are identical, and another where the Father has a long beard, Christ has the nail-wounds and a short beard, and the spirit has a short beard and no wounds.

Different groups, in the isolation of the middle ages, developed different local iconographic issues especially on the icons illustrating the finer points of theology.
