Do you believe that Catholics or or Orthodox pray to icons? Who told you this?

Praying before an icon is no different from Protestants praying before a framed copy of “Footprints,” or praying before a painting of Jesus, or while driving, inspired by the verse on their travel mug.

Or do you consider this idol worship too?

If so, you better straighten out Christian bookstores that sell these idols.

Of course you pray to icons...Why in the world would you deny it??? We've seen your popes pray to icons on tv...

Your analogy is like comparing pick-up-sticks with strawberries...

You guys bow to and pray to your icons and ask them to perform miracles for you...To provide grace and even salvation for you...And we are not talking of icons of Jesus, are we...Why are you in denial???
