A Lesson in Iconography

This has to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve read in my life. Apparently neither the offended parishioners nor Andrew knows that the iconography of the crucifix in question is an example of perfectly normal Byzantine-style depictions of the Crucifixion. The crucifix’s iconography appears to be quite traditional, decent and appropriate. I don’t have that much more to say about this. Sometimes I am simply amazed at how stunningly ignorant many Christians are of the most basic religious elements of their own tradition and history.

I suppose it’s a good thing that this parish doesn’t have an image of the Theotokos Galaktotrophousa, or else there might have been a riot!
