Summary/Abstract: The spirituality is the content of faith, expressed in its living experience, said the father Dumitru Stăniloaie. The richness and the non-similar beauty of the orthodox spirituality, we find from its uncountable particularities. One of these is the icon. In the most limited sense of the word, the icon indicates the descent of God in the world and the participation on man to the divine life, so the holiness achievement must constitute a perpetual impulse for believers to follow the example of those represented in icons. Therefore, the icon is one of the aspects of the divine revelation and of our communication with God.
