→The Iconoclastic Controversy
In the year 843 the iconoclastic controversy was finally laid to rest, and icons and their veneration were restored on the first Sunday in Lent. Ever since, this Sunday has been commemorated as the "Triumph of Orthodoxy" and is refered to as the "Sunday of Orthodoxy."

== The Sunday of Orthodoxy ==
The Sunday of Orthodoxy is commemorated with the Divine Liturgy of Saint Basil the Great, which is preceded by the Matins service. A Great Vespers is conducted on Saturday evening.
Orthodox (members of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]) faithful carry icons in a procession, while the clergy offer petitions for the people, civil authorities, and those who have reposed in the faith.
