The iconoclasm conflict, which centered on the removal of all sacred icons from churches and monasteries, was one of the most significant religious crises to engulf the Byzantine Empire. Iconoclasm, which is typically motivated by religious or political reasons, is the willful destruction of a culture's own religious icons, emblems, or monuments.
Iconoclasts, which is Greek meaning "breakers of icons" (o), are people who advocate or participate in iconoclasm. The term has come to be used figuratively to describe anyone who rejects or defies established dogmas or traditions. The term "iconolater" is used to mock those who respect or venerate religious icons.
