In this video, we'll explain the Iconoclastic Controversy (also referred to as the Byzantine Iconoclasm). We'll discuss its origins within the Byzantine Empire, it's rise within the church and it's eventual decline.

Excerpt:
In the eighth and ninth centuries AD, a controversy arose, especially within the Eastern Orthodox Church, regarding the use of icons in religious worship and instruction. An icon is a representation of Jesus, Mary, the saints, or angels on a flat surface-either as a painting or a mosaic. Those who upheld the religious use of icons came to be known as iconodules, i.e., """"lovers of images."""" Those who decried the religious use of icons came to be known as iconoclasts, or """"smashers of images."""" The most heated debate and actions of the controversy took place between 726 and 843.
