The Classical tradition influenced Christian practices of worship in a number of ways, not least of which was the way in which the dead were both represented and venerated. Images of the deceased provide the worshipper with the most tangible form of remembering and honoring the dead. Images provided the living with a direct link to the dead as represented on earth by their bodily remains. Worship of such images took a variety of forms, especially significant being the icon and relic.
