In Russia, there are anti-extremism laws which prevent anyone from wearing a T-shirt with the logo “Orthodoxy or Death.” Pussy Riot members were arrested for wearing the logo, while Russian Orthodox clergy defend it as a call to spiritual focus. Last year, the Orthodox clergy and Banner Bearers attended the trial of the two men, Andrei Erofeev and the former director of the Sakharov Museum Yuri Samodurov, who were both accused of inciting religious hatred.

Icon style
Orthodox Christians believe in the power of icons. Icons are representations of Jesus Christ and His apostles, and they are often used in religious artwork. The word icon comes from the Greek word eikonos, which means “image writing.” Many English-speaking Orthodox Christians maintain that icons are not paintings but written representations of Jesus Christ. They should be interpreted in a similar way to Holy Scripture. Icons are not imaginative creations of the iconographer; they are faithful witnesses of the truth.
Icons are often labeled with texts before Iconoclasm. For instance, the name Christ is labeled “IC XC”, while the Virgin Mary’s icon is labeled “MP ThY”. The most holy figures, like St. Nicholas, are designated o agios, which means “holy” or “saint.” In addition to being a patron of children and teens, he is also the patron of sailors and travelers.
The Orthodox Church has a long history with icons. In fact, the use of artistic representations for piety and instruction goes back to the first century of the Church. Perhaps even earlier than that, artists used artistic representations to teach people about spiritual truths. A good example of this is the Anastasis, which depicts Christ descending into Hades and raising the dead from tombs.
In terms of appearance, icons of orthodox saints are generally similar. Their faces are characterized by thin, pointy beards, and white wavy hair. These characteristics make them instantly recognizable to viewers who are familiar with the iconographic conventions. Evangelists, for example, hold books of the Gospel.
