Abstract

Abstract: Iconoclasm literally means “icon-breaking,” which includes the religious as well as political destruction of images or monuments, usually?though not always?those of another religious group. Iconoclasm is frequently a component of major domestic political or religious changes. Iconoclasm is the belief that there should not be religious pictures or sacred images or religious monuments because they are seen as a form of idolatry.Conversely, people who revere or venerate religious images are called “iconolaters.” In a Byzantine context they are known as “iconodules” or “iconophiles.”
