Description
The St. John the Baptist Romanian Church in Glendale, Arizona was built in the Romanian Orthodox tradition and style. This elaborate church, full of icons, is beautiful both inside and outside. In Eastern Christianity and other icon-painting Christian traditions, the icon is generally a flat panel painting depicting a holy being or object. In obedience to the commandment not to make "graven images", Orthodox icons may never be more than three-quarter bas relief. In the icons of Eastern Orthodoxy very little room is made for artistic license. Almost everything within the image has a symbolic aspect. Color plays an important role as well. Gold represents the radiance of Heaven; red, divine life. Blue is the color of human life, white is the Uncreated Light of God, only used for resurrection and transfiguration of Christ.
