→Icons with unknown author: text editing
Pictures of cherubim on temple door, on temple walls are mentioned in Old Testament in III Kings 6:29. If there would be an interdiction of all images, the groups claiming this interdiction would not use any images, photos or movies and Old Testament would probably not describe the Temple as having images of cherubim.
===Icons with unknown authornot made by hands===There are several icons with unknown authors that were found done after people were praying. One such example is [http://ro.orthodoxwiki.org/Icoana_Maicii_Domnului_Prodromi%C5%A3a Prodomitra icon.] The first draft was not liked by the icon writer. He prayed for help and then found the icon done.
*Third example is the icon done in Pangheo Mountains to Saint Gherman. Saint Gherman wanted an icon of the Holy Mother of God. So he had several men make the support. However the piece of wood had splintered in several parts. The Saint prayed to God so that icon will be made. The Holy Mother of God appeared to Saint Gherman assuring that the icon will be done, and the wood parts had united themselves and the icon started to be self-written in a reddish light. Many miracles are attributed to this icon, one being the healing of a child that was not able to speak or hear.
Some believe these icons are made by angels.
