[QUOTE=Cyril Syzranskiy;1086692] In light of the church and the prayer will be the image of the essence of the icon, not worse than printing, in my opinion. If the icon is a religious position, not with art criticism, for example.

For the consecration of the image in the Orthodox Church must respect the canons for writing ICONS.
 I have a book (title torn) edition of 1848, of which cite the preface.
Judging by the content, it is - a tutorial on writing icons.
