Iconoclasm is the modern name used to describe the debate about the legitimacy of portraits of Christ, Mary, and the saints in Orthodox devotional practice that began in the 720s and was resolved with the “triumph of Orthodoxy” in 843. It had an impact on Byzantine culture in two fundamental ways. First, it sealed the importance of visual communication at the heart of Orthodox devotional practice and theology. Second, by establishing that images of saints (icons) allowed the believer to channel prayers to the saint portrayed, the pro-image doctrine that emerged in the ninth century ensured that all believers—not just priests—had equal access to the divine.
