Icons in Orthodox Christianity

Have you ever been curious about why Orthodox Christians use Icons in Worship?

Well, this summer, that question collided with my own curiosity about Artificial Intelligence. 

Learning about AI, and how to best use it (and how NOT to use it), has been my summer hobby this year.

Additionally, as many of you know, we recently had a family visit to Cyprus, where we visited lots of Churches and Monasteries, and I took lots of pictures.

All of this resulted in me making my very first YouTube video. 

I used Notebook LM to make a podcast from the booklet, "No Graven Image" by Fr. Jack Sparks (of Blessed Memory), then used Canva to create a slideshow video using some of our Cyprus pictures. And when I didn't know how to do something, I consulted with Gemini for technical advice.

So - here's my video

I hope you enjoy it & find it inspirational. Please forgive any flaws or technical imperfections. I'm still learning! 

Happy Viewing!
