Ntau tus neeg uas tsis paub txog kev ntseeg ntau dhau yuav hais nrog kev ntseeg siab tias lub Koom Txoos Orthodox txawv ntawm lwm lub tsev teev ntuj ntseeg vim tias muaj ntau lub cim ntawm no. Qhov no yog ib feem yog, tsuas yog lub Koom Txoos Orthodox tau khaws cia cov kev lig kev cai ntawm icon veneration, thaum lwm yam denominations tau poob nws. Qhov tseeb hais tias cov kev lig kev cai qub muaj yog paub tseeb los ntawm ancient legends.
Piv txwv li, lub hauv paus chiv keeb ntawm Yexus Khetos, uas tam sim no hu ua "Tus Cawm Seej Tsis Ua Los Ntawm Tes", yog paub. Ib daim duab tsis yog ua los ntawm tes txhais tau tias tsis ua los ntawm tib neeg txhais tes. Nws ntseeg tias daim duab no tau tshwm sim thaum Yexus muab nws tus kheej qhuav nrog ib daim phuam, uas tom qab ntawd nws muab rau tus huab tais ntawm Hagar thaj av. Tus vajntxwv no ntseeg Yexus nyob rau hauv absentia thiab thov kom kho. Tswv Yexus tsis tau taug txoj kev zoo li no, tab sis nws tau muab cov phuam uas nws so nws tus kheej (hauv lub Koom Txoos Slavonic - "ubrus") rau cov tub qhe uas tuaj thiab kom lawv coj mus rau vaj ntxwv kho. Ntawm daim phuam no, daim duab sawv tawm heev distinctly. Qhov peculiarity ntawm daim duab no yog tias tsuas yog lub ntsej muag pom: lub xub pwg nyom thiab caj npab, uas feem ntau yog piav qhia ntawm cov cim, tsis tuaj ntawm no.
Lub cim thib ob yogDaim duab ntawm Leej Niam ntawm Vajtswv, ua los ntawm ib tug ntawm cov evangelists.
Kev tsis sib haum xeeb txog qhov tsim nyog thiab kev ncaj ncees ntawm cov cim tau tshwm sim rau ntau pua xyoo. Icon yog dab tsi? Vim li cas lawv thiaj thov Vajtswv, pe hawm lawv? Puas tsim nyog? Los yog qhov no yog lwm hom kev pe mlom niaj hnub no? Puas yog lub cim ntawm Yexus Khetos thiab Leej Niam ntawm Vajtswv tseem ceeb heev, lossis koj puas tuaj yeem ua yam tsis muaj lawv?
Txiv neej raws li nws zoo li, koj tuaj yeem ua yam tsis muaj teeb meem. Koj tuaj yeem thov Vajtswv yam tsis muaj lub cim, tsis muaj daim duab ntawm tus ntoo khaub lig, thiab nyob qhov twg. Qhov tsis muaj icons tsis tiv thaiv peb los ntawm kev thov Vajtswv. Icons tsuas yog cov duab ntxim nyiam rau lub siab, ceeb toom. Raws li yog leej niam tus tub tawm los yog tuag, thiab nws muab nws daim duab tso rau ntawm lub txee. Tsis muaj leej twg yuav pom qhov txawv txawv no, puas yog lawv? Thiab yog hais tias ib tug niam tham nrog nws tus tub, nws yuav zoo li tsis xav tsis thoob. Tsis muaj leej twg yuav xav tias tus poj niam no tau txuas nrog ib daim ntawv. Yog li ntawd, lub cim ntawm tus Tswv Yexus Khetos tsis yog txhua yam ntawm kev pe hawm. Tsis muaj leej twg thov Vajtswv rau lub cim, tag nrho cov lus thov tsuas yog hais rau Vajtswv xwb, thiab cov cim tsuas yog nco txog Nws. Yog hais tias ib tug neeg thov Vajtswv tshwj xeeb rau lub cim, ces qhov no tsuas yog lawv tus kheej delusion, lub Koom Txoos Orthodox tsis qhia qhov no.
Vim li cas Yexus Khetos lub cim thiaj li muaj kev hwm? Lo lus teb yog yooj yim: kev hwm rau Vajtswv nws tus kheej yog qhia nyob rau hauv reverence rau Nws dluab. Txhua tus neeg khaws cov duab ntawm lawv cov neeg hlub nyob rau hauv ib qho album lossis thav duab thiab dai rau ntawm phab ntsa. Raws li peb tau yooj yim pov tseg ib daim ntawv xov xwm nrog cov duab ntawm cov neeg txawv. Lub veneration ntawm icons yog qhov zoo sib xws.
Icons ntawm Yexus Khetos feem ntau yog muab tso rau hauv qhov chaw tseem ceeb ntawm tsev neegicon ces kaum thiab txhua lub tsev teev ntuj iconostasis. Yam tsawg kawg yog qhov uas nws yuav tsum yog los ntawm txoj cai. Hauv qee lub tsev teev ntuj muaj lub cim tshwj xeeb ntawm Yexus Khetos, tus nqi ntawm qhov tseem ceeb dua li lub cim zoo tib yam. Qhov no yog ib qho txuj ci tseem ceeb. Tej txujci tseem ceeb yog Vajtswv ua. Tab sis tib neeg nco ntsoov tias lawv tau thov Vajtswv li cas ua ntej kom daws tau qhov teeb meem, thiab lawv rov mus thov Vajtswv ntawm no dua. Canonically, qhov no tsis muaj qab hau, tab sis nws tuaj yeem suav tias yog kev coj noj coj ua zoo.
Icons tau hwm hauv Orthodoxy, tab sis cov no tsis yog mlom, tab sis nco txog lub vaj kaj siab thiab nws cov ntseeg.
