If I recall correctly the bible said not to worship the idols themselves or other gods through idols.
The way many orthodox christians interpret this is that it’s ok to have religious symbols or icons as long as you use them as tools of worship and not worship them.
I am not well versed in religion but wasn’t it their god that said not to idolize him ?
It’s fine, they’re mostly idolising his mum.

He actually told them not to worship “false” idols. Idols of his family are fine.
