\n\tIkonat e Kish\u00ebs Orthodhokse jan\u00eb pjes\u00eb e saj shum\u00eb e \u00e7muar. Jan\u00eb kaq t\u00eb r\u00ebnd\u00ebsishme, sa dhe Sinodi i Shtat\u00eb Ekumenik mbrojti zyrtarisht nderimin e tyre n\u00eb Kish\u00eb. Ai deklaroi se ikonat meritojn\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00ebjtin respekt e nderim si Kryqi dhe Shkrimi i Shenjt\u00eb. Dhe, sikurse Kryqi dhe Shkrimi i Shenjt\u00eb konsiderohen t\u00eb shenjt\u00eb, po ashtu konsiderohen edhe ikonat.<\/span><\/p>\n \n\tShum\u00eb njer\u00ebz tregojn\u00eb respekt e nderim p\u00ebr ikonat, por nuk i kuptojn\u00eb ato. Madje, nuk din\u00eb as q\u00ebllimin e tyre. Kjo ka \u00e7uar n\u00eb p\u00ebrdorimin jo t\u00eb drejt\u00eb t\u00eb ikonave t\u00eb shenjta. P\u00ebr shembull, n\u00eb disa sht\u00ebpi orthodhokse ikonat varen n\u00ebp\u00ebr mure thjesht si zbukurim. Edhe pse ia shtojn\u00eb bukurin\u00eb sht\u00ebpis\u00eb son\u00eb, ikonat jan\u00eb b\u00ebr\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u2019u vendosur n\u00eb vende ku i lutemi Per\u00ebndis\u00eb. \u00cbsht\u00eb mir\u00eb q\u00eb p\u00ebrpara nj\u00eb ikone t\u00eb vendoset edhe nj\u00eb qiri ose kandil.
