Welcome to the Byzantine Empire |
IconoclasmIslam hated icons and thought that Christians were worshipping icons instead of venerating them. Bishops from all around started to ask themselves if icons were wrong also. Most Bishops voted that icons were wrong and iconoclasm lasted 100 years! Christians of the same religion as other Christians started to think their fellow neighbors were WORSHIPPING the saints. After 100 years, icons were brought back into the Christian faith.
