For centuries Iconography has been a remarkable tool of inner peace and spirituality for people of all faiths and traditions.  Iconography is the most purest art form as it takes a lifetime to become proficient in Iconography.  It is believed that icons originated around the 6th century.  The word Icon (Eikon) means "Image" and combines bright colors, gold leaf and other ingredients on canvas and aged wood.  Iconography holds firm roots with the Greeks, who were considered the masters of Iconography, which later spread to Russia.
