As an integral part of religious practice, icons held pride of place in early Russian churches. Orthodox theologians believed that icons, with their symbolic content, illustrated the Liturgy and added details that made the Gospels more comprehensible. While working on icons, theologians and iconographers used all available sources: the Gospels, hagiographies, verbal expressions from the Liturgy and other services, hymns, prayers, words of prophets, and commentaries. It covers Novgorod, Pskov, Moscow, Tver, and Wonderworking icons. In English.
