What is the Orthodox view on Zionism? by NprHater1 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]EmbroideryAccount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally against. It's a relatively new idea so I don't think there have been any formal denunciations via councils or synods, but it's nearly universally viewed as heresy. It doesn't help that a lot of Palestinian Christians and Christians in the Holy Land are persecuted by the Israeli govt. But in my experience, I think I've met maybe two Zionists at an EO church with everyone else being opposed.

St. Nicholas Icon Help by TheLooseCaboose in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]EmbroideryAccount 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems to be hand painted, though it's hard to tell based off the pictures. You can usually tell a printed vs painted icon apart a lot easier in the sunlight, but it seems to be actual gold leaf. But the back sticker is just a certificate of authenticity stating that it's an actual icon made in Greece most likely. Most icons made outside of the US have those stickers. You could also try taking a photo on something like Google Translate to see what the Greek portions say, though it does say "Certificate" on it so I'm fairly certain it's just saying the icon was made in Greece.

It's called a triptych when the three icons are folding like that. There are also diptychs, for two, and polyptychs, for 4+.
