BM Prize on humility

BM Prize on humility The concept of humility is central to Orthodox Christianity, and it is often exemplified in the lives of the saints. One way that humility is expressed in Orthodox tradition is through the veneration of icons. Icons are not simply religious paintings, but are considered to be windows into the heavenly realm. They are believed to be channels of grace, connecting the viewer with the presence of the divine. In the act of veneration, Orthodox Christians bow or kiss the icon as a sign of respect and humility before the holy figures depicted. The British Museum Prize on humility could be awarded to an artist who demonstrates exceptional skill and devotion in creating icons that inspire humility and reverence in the viewer. The winning icon could be displayed in a prominent place in the museum, inviting visitors to contemplate the virtue of humility as embodied in the sacred art of the Orthodox tradition.
