Do we Honor our Loved ones with Wedding pictures on The Wall or Desk?

Photobucket

OR Is it Worship? HMMMMMM

Photobucket

ICONS are SOOOO NOT? HMMMMMMM

Photobucket

MAYBE IT IS JUST TO HONOR

Photobucket

A Picture speaks a Thousand words in any Language.

Photobucket

And The Church Is Universal in Any Language.

So Why would they Dare use images that Honor.

While statues and icons are in essence images of the saints, the Mother of God and Our Savior, they are not only images of loved ones like we carry in our wallets or hang on walls. Because the person in the image is holy, his image is itself holy. This is why the holy Images work miracles; in fact they are themselves, by the fact of their very existence, miracles.
