English translation:icons and images
Explanation:
Although both "образы" is redundant in Russian as well, such usage seems to exist in English as well. See, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_of_Edessa

On the other hand, I don't think you would miss anything by simply writing "icons."

icons and sacred images


Explanation:
/ Очень важно, на мой взгляд, упомянуть не просто "image", a "sacred images". Так можно отразить и то, что это "образ святого", и показать благоговение верующих перед иконами.
