Painting “Glass Icons” have been a popular art in the “Transylvania” region of Romania, which have been members of the early Roman-Catholic church but influenced by the Creek Orthodox Church with strong fascinating images of religious motives and faces. 

Not the difficult technique of painting icons but the fact that glass icons were much cheaper than the original icons was the reason that the popularity of glass icons increased beyond the pour country folks and found its high point of popularity in the early 19^th century, not only in Romania but also in Southern Germany and Slovakia.
