Luther's followers bucked the 1,500 year-old Christian tradition of venerating religious images and icons, some of which still appear on the walls of the early Christian catacombs.That's not a Christian tradition...It's a pagan tradition that goes back well beyond 1500 years...
The Christian tradition according to God is 'do not build statues or icons'...

'do not build statues or icons' The scripture teaches us to contemplate holy images so that we may be tranformed by them:
whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image [lit. icon] of his Son (Rom 8:29) as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image [icon] of the heavenly (1 Cor 15:49)
who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you? (Gal. 3:1)
