Admittedly, iconography was a very difficult hurdle for me when it came to Orthodox Christianity, but it occurred to me that, to deny the icon, is to deny the incarnation....which is what Muslims and rabbinic jews do. God, for his own reasons, decided to use the material to bring forth His divine revelation. This idea also coincides with the Holy Eucharist...it's not just a symbol but His actual body and blood.
