If the art of the United States as an independent value as their nature and purpose, then, is not Dekor Art has a separate value, its beauty belongs to the religious beliefs and experiences. Thus, the meaning Dekor outside the Orthodox faith, only from the artistic point of view, it is difficult to understand. Someone once asked the Russian theologian Father Alexander Mayne: how to learn to understand and feel icon? Mayne replied: "Only true love, not artistic, can teach you to understand and feel Dekor Let's say one of your loved one died, but you do not have his portrait, but retains a little. cut down on passport from old photos, but you still cherish this little picture, because this is the person you love ʱ??

Kruger is convinced that at any age, the gradient is in a very brutal era, the icon can witness the mysteries of the kingdom, witnesses and the world was changed by the grace of God.
