  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

There are certain types of Icons, like the pantokrator. And although they do differ some, they remain very similar, to the point that it is easily recognizable.

Is this the same with statues (I believe you refer to them as Holy Images?) in the Roman Catholic Church? Are there certain "types"?

God Bless you Brothers!

Yes! Most of our statues are recognizible, especially if you know the stories of the Saints, Blessed Mother, for each will give some indication of them.
Do they have titles, like "Pantokrator" and "Madonna and Child"?

Also, did I get it Right, they are called Holy Images?

There are several main types of statue. It was only rarely allowed to produce a statue outside the approved classes. Here are a few:

The Madonna and Child
