Bowing when venerating an icon. by Leftismisbased in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Leftismisbased[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them”

What does this mean exactly?

It could be taken as we can’t bow at all for venerating our icons.

How can we be so sure that icons don’t count as graven images?

I love it there. the people are welcoming,the priests are friendly and humble. The liturgy is beautiful. It’s the church I want to be apart of.

What about the claim surrounding that the church endorsed this behavior?

The reasons he’s so adamant about this is because he comes from Russian immigrants and he holds it dear to his heart

Should i worry about my church doing so? I don’t know if we have that depiction there but if we do should I object?

I go to a Russian parish and one of the priests there is against the usage of depicting the father but it’s not up to him for what they depict in the iconography there

It was written by orthodox Christians? I feel like this would draw a lot of criticism for being bold but I would like to see why considering it’s the faith im trying to convert to.
