idolatry forbidden in abrahamic religions. in judaism there prohibition against worshipping idol or representation of god, there no restriction on art or simple depictions. islam has stronger prohibition, banning representations of god, , in cases of muhammad, humans and, in interpretations, living creature.


in christianity s earliest centuries, christians had informally adorned homes , places of worship images of christ , saints, others thought inappropriate. no church council had ruled on whether such practices constituted idolatry. controversy reached crisis level in 8th century, during period of iconoclasm: smashing of icons.


in 726 emperor leo iii ordered images removed churches; in 730 council forbade veneration of images, citing second commandment; in 787 seventh ecumenical council reversed preceding rulings, condemning iconoclasm , sanctioning veneration of images; in 815 leo v called yet council, reinstated iconoclasm; in 843 empress theodora again reinstated veneration of icons. settled matter until protestant reformation, when john calvin declared ruling of seventh ecumenical council emanated satan . protestant iconoclasts @ time destroyed statues, pictures, stained glass, , artistic masterpieces.


the eastern orthodox church celebrates theodora s restoration of icons every year on first sunday of great lent. eastern orthodox tradition teaches while images of god, father, remain prohibited, depictions of jesus incarnation of god visible human permissible. emphasize theological importance of incarnation, orthodox church encourages use of icons in church , private devotions, prefers two-dimensional depiction reminder of theological aspect. icons depict spiritual dimension of subject rather attempting naturalistic portrayal. in modern use (usually result of roman catholic influence), more naturalistic images , images of father, however, appear in orthodox churches, statues, i.e. three-dimensional depictions, continue banned.


the roman catholic church holds 1 may build , use likenesses , long object not worshipped. many roman catholic churches , services feature images; feature statues. roman catholics, practice understood fulfilling second commandment, understand these images not being worshipped.
