What is an icon in history?

Icons (from the Greek eikones) are sacred images representing the saints, Christ, and the Virgin, as well as narrative scenes such as Christ's Baptism (2013.980a–d) and Crucifixion.

What is the meaning of the Greek word icon?

Icon comes to us from the Greek word eikenai, meaning "to seem or to be like." In certain religions, statues of religious figures are referred to as icons––because they are prayed to as if they were the thing they represent.

What is an Orthodox icon?

At its most simple and basic, an Orthodox icon is “an image of Jesus, a holy person or people, an image showing a scene from the bible or Feast of the day or a group of holy people”.

Why did Spotify change icons?

The biggest differences between the old icons and the new ones lie in their size and the thickness of the strokes. Spotify has decided to use just 16px and 24px icon sizes going forward, in order to simplify its system and improve readability.
