"Ecclesialism, Apostolic Tradition, OK, But Aren't Orthodox Purer? Don't They Condemn Statues?"

First, here is an Orthodox priest speaking:

Is The Orthodox Church AGAINST Statues? ☦️

No, Hagia Sophia had statues prior to iconoclasm.

But there is, next, another answer.

I have been in Arles and seen a museum. One of the pieces was a sarcophagus from Roman times, before Constantine. It had in High Relief images of the Twelve Apostles.

Third, the image of the Cross is a statue.

So, no, Orthodoxy in fact doesn't in practise condemn sculture./HGL
