Orthodox icons, paintings, and sculptures are merely beautiful expressions of an artist's love for the Church. True or False?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The statement is - False.

The Orthodox icons, paintings, and sculptures, can be interpreted in multiple ways, but it will be wrong to say that they are merely the expression of an artist's love for the church.

Some of the artist are indeed deep believers, and do express their faith through their art, but some just do it for the money, and are not even religious, but instead just use their talent and earn for living. Also, the icons in the Orthodox Christianity are not a symbol of respect and love for the church, but instead the people have icons of some saints at their home as a traditional thing, as a saint protector of the home, or a saint that has the same name as someone in the home to bring good luck and welfare.

In general, we can say that the Orthodox Christians do not really have love towards the church or the priests, but only in God. They also do not go often to church or pray to the icons at home.
Answer 2
Answer: False. Orthodox people use icons in their religious life. They do not pray to them, but, they can act as a focus for a religious discipline.

Hope that helps!!!

A _____ rock is created when extreme heat and pressure create chemical changes or a tighter packing of minerals in a previously existing rock.A. volcanic
B. igneous
C. chemical
D. metamorphic

Answers

Answer:

D. metamorphic

Explanation:

   Metamorphic rock is a type of rock derived from the metamorphosis (transformation) of magmatic or sedimentary rocks that undergo modification in their atomic composition, due to the influence of the different conditions of the environment in which they are inserted compared to the places where they were originally formed.

    In most cases metamorphic rocks form from other rocks, which are subjected to intense pressures or high temperatures. This process occurs naturally due to the intense and constant movement of the earth's core, causing the periodic movement of the planet's crust (the covering of earth and rocks that make up the planet's outer region). The movement of the crust, in turn, initiates a rearrangement in the rocks located in the upper part, being that when the magmatic and sedimentary rocks are pushed to lower levels, thus giving rise to the process of formation of the metamorphic rock.
