No, I'm not talking about the little square thingy on your computer desktop that opens your Bible software.... Religious icons, generally from the orthodox tradition, are stylized paintings of key people from the Bible, Saints, etc. The monastery has many beautiful icons - many with gold leaf (which is hard to photograph). You saw the icons on the main cross in the chapel below. Here are some others.
