ikons
Orthodox holy pictures
Ikons is a variant spelling of icons.
An ikon is a religious image—particularly in Eastern Orthodox Christianity—painted on wood panels and venerated as sacred objects.
The spelling with k preserves the Greek origin more visibly.
Outside religious contexts, icon (with c) dominates for all senses: computer icons, cultural icons, iconic figures.
