After its glory days in the Roman Empire, it stood in the path of Muslim expansion, suffered betrayal by crusading Catholics, was seized by the Russian tsars and faced near-extinction under communism. MacCulloch visits a collection of icons in the Sinai desert, a relic of the iconoclastic crisis in Istanbul and Ivan the Terrible's cathedral in Moscow. ==See Also== {{https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ntrqh|BBC Site}} ==Trailer== ,,Full Version Available Upon Request,, {{ youtube>L2c_wHpAaLI }} \\ {{tag>FHD History Religion Christianity Catholicism Orthodoxy Deism BBC SER BBC_-_A_History_of_Christianity_(2009) 2009 Ar01/19 Name}} \\
