Yes,very much so.

We are not to pray to,pray in front of,kneel in front of or venerate icons,lest it lead to idolatry.

It does not matter if they are not being prayed to.

The second commandment is crystal clear. Don’t make a graven image or likeness, don’t bow to them or serve them. This is the only commandment God says He will punish future generations for violating.

If one is conscious of not praying to icons, how can it lead to idolatry?

If I see an icon, and feel like praying, should I stop?
