Iconoclasts v. Iconophiles.

In a late score, the Iconoclasts remain locked in a tie score with the Iconophiles.

Byzantine iconophiles, or image-lovers, believed that the icons were holy, and not solely devotional objects. Iconoclasm, or destruction of images, was the most significant issue affecting Byzantium between 717 and 787. Today, we no longer find images in Xtianity. You could not buy one if you wanted to.

Don't forget Our Virgin of the Grilled Cheese.
