Etymology

From Ancient Greek εικόνα (eikóna, accusative form).

   • from the Homily against the Bogumils, 254-255:

     еретици же не кланꙗѭтъ сѧ иконамъ нъ коумирꙑ наричѫтъ ѩ

     eretici že ne klanjajǫtŭ sę ikonamŭ nŭ kumiry naričǫtŭ ję

     but the heretics do not venerate icons, but call them idols.

   • from Vita Constantini, 0500100-0500110:

     Бѣ же Аньнꙇи патрꙇархь ѥресь въздвигль глаголѥ: не творите чьсть светꙑмь иконамь.

     Bě že Anĭnii patriarxĭ jeresĭ vŭzdviglĭ glagolje: ne tvorite čĭstĭ svetymĭ ikonamĭ.

     John, who was Patriarch of Constantinople, started the heresy, saying that one should not honor the holy icons.
