I think, though, you'll only see an iconostasis (icon screen separating the altar area from the rest of the church) in Orthodox or Eastern Rite Catholic churches.

I've never seen one in a Lutheran church, and if there was one, I bet my good buddy Martin rolled in his grave. They aren't theologically correct for Lutherans. Well, I guess the Jesus ones are ok, but I'm betting that when they show up in Lutheran churches, it was a well-meaning parishioner who thought they had found a pretty picture of Jesus.
