The Byzantine Art               Theotokos: Mother Of God Site

---

The Byzantine Art is used for making icons which decorate the Orthodox Temples.  It is a unique art which is not just art (paintings and pictures).  There are thousands of symbols in a Byzantine icon.  The main idea is to glorify God - The light of the World - through the abstract faces of the saints presented in the Byzantine icons. This site includes examples of Byzantine Art (see bellow) as well as other sites related to Byzantine Art and the Orthodox Religion.  This site is always under construction.  Please keep coming to see the marvelous examples of the unique Byzantine Art. Thank you for visiting this site.
