Holy pictures.

Holy pictures.

• A. Icon
• B. Divine Liturgy
• C. INRI
• D. Prie Dieu

Answer: (A)

Holy pictures in many Eastern Christian traditions are called icons. An icon is more than a portrait; it’s a sacred image treated as a doorway to the holy reality it depicts—Christ, the Virgin, or a saint. Icons are used in worship and private prayer, and they’re venerated with reverence (not worshipped), reflecting deep theological meaning through their traditional style and symbolism. The other options refer to distinct things: a Divine Liturgy is the main worship service, INRI is the inscription placed on the cross, and a Prie Dieu is a kneeling bench used for prayer.
