As the Orthodox faith continues its journey away from the Roman Catholic church, the need to establish visual points of difference became apparent, and this leads to a call for more ikonic artists.

随著东正教与罗马天主教会分歧日深，对创造自身形象体系的发迫切，故而要大批圣迹艺术为之效力。

Ikonic art can be found throughout the Orthodox Christian faith to represent the messiah, saints and other holy figures, but it is an exacting art that few men master, let alone dabble in.

圣迹艺术是东正教用弥赛亚、圣徒形象和圣经事迹的宗教艺术形式，其笔触细腻精美绝伦，但极少有人能达到深厚造诣，更遑论成为杰出大师。
