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.

圣迹艺正教用于表现弥赛亚、圣徒形象和圣经事迹的宗教艺形式，其笔触细腻精美绝伦，但极有人能达到深厚诣，更遑论成为杰出大师。

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.

随著正教与罗马天主教会分歧日深，对创形象体系的需求愈发迫切，故而需要大批圣迹艺家为之效力。
