According to TASS, special icons have appeared in twenty-five Orthodox churches of the Russian Federation, before which people with vision problems can offer prayers. All of them are made in accordance with the 'special relief' technology, which allows blind and visually impaired people to touch the holy image depicted on them with their hands.
The artist Oleg Zon, whose workshop makes icons in this technique, told the TASS correspondent that the holy images have already been transferred to the churches of the Moscow and Tver regions, as well as the Udmurt Republic. “One of these days we will transfer the next, twenty-sixth icon - the image of Archbishop Luka of Crimea (Voino-Yasenetsky) - to the Borisoglebsk church in the city of Ramenskoye, Moscow region,” said the master icon painter.
Tactile icons are already in the churches of the Moscow Theological Academy and the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, as well as in the temple in honor of the Appearance of the Mother of God to the Monk Sergius of Radonezh - the home church of an orphanage for the deaf-blind.
