data-start=\"2702\" data-end=\"2864\">Today, they may serve both as <strong data-start=\"2743\" data-end=\"2773\">objects of spiritual reflection<\/strong> and as works of art that bring a sense of calm, depth, and contemplative character to an interior.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2866\" data-end=\"2869\">\n<h3 data-start=\"2871\" data-end=\"2898\">The Process of Creating an Icon<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2900\" data-end=\"2955\">Creating an icon is a slow and multi-layered process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2957\" data-end=\"2980\">It includes, among other stages:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2982\" data-end=\"3147\">\n<li data-start=\"2982\" data-end=\"3016\">\n<p data-start=\"2984\" data-end=\"3016\">preparation of the wooden panel<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3017\"
