This paper studies the phenomenon of a canonical orthodox icon-painting as a historically unaltered \nsacral space, which has operational characteristics of a sacralization system while semiotic- figurative \nstructure of this space contains information on values of orthodox religion. А role icon-painting has \nplayed in the life of the Russian nation (in retrospective) and a part icon-painting plays in present-day \nsocial and cultural space were both studied. And finally, problems of modern icon-painting and a part \nicon-painting plays in formation of a positive national and religious identity, peculiarities of one’s \nperception of icon-painted characters were all studied in this paper. The topic covered is currently \nimportant due to sacralization of mass culture values and global desacralization (secularization) \nof values which are important to religious communities such as justice, generosity, conciliarism, \npatriotism, love, loyalty and others. Main method used is literature review of recent (up to date) \nstudies on this topic. A critical analysis of Russian and foreign literature sources published during \nthe last 10-15 years was carried out, with focus on system of basic cultural ideals’ sacralization. A \nbrief review of major “sacral theories” is presented, as well as a brief review and a critical analysis \nof recent papers on the topic. It is inferred that the sacral art is able to resist desacralization of basic \ngenerally valid values and promote re-sacralizing of objects, which have historically lost their sacral \nmeaning. This fact, in its turn, contributes to the establishment of generally valid values of the nation \nand formation of a positive national and religious identity
