Abstract
Much has been written about icons, with a great deal of interest and remarkable competence, especially during the twentieth century. However, almost all that has been written has been about the visible face of icons. Those who studied them were, in most cases, art historians and art critics, regular historians or theologians interested in Biblical history and in the part of the icon conveying the message (implicitly in the iconographic programs). Naturally, they went as far as the limits of their respective specialized fields, and no further.
