Icon Corners

[Breaking Babylon]

Small world, isn't it?

I really love the Theotokos of Tenderness you've made... it's one of my favorite icons.

Babylon are those all handwritten, or are they prints?

You bought a handwritten Kazan from me. I can't remember if you bought a Tenderness icon from me.

Then that's it...
That's what I thought but I can't remember...

Why don't you go upstairs to see???

They are prints.

My icon corner.





Hey, does anybody know of an icon of Christ that is about 8x10 that could possibly match (or come close to matching) the icon of the Theotokos that I have here?

In my opinion, Christ of Sinai would look good beside that icon of the Vladimir Theotokos.

No suggestions, I just wanted to say I love that icon of St Patrick and am contemplating getting one for my Mum (her name's Patricia)

Considering you have Christ right above the Theotokos, if you want another icon of Christ I would suggest the Holy Mandylion.

I am working on my icon corner and I have a question. Is it ok to have some of the icons below head lever? I have a cross that I am going to put up but I planned on putting it below my 2 icons of Christ which would make it at about chest length. Would this be considered disrespectful?

If you look at an Orthodox iconostasis the bottom row icons are at a level where the tops of the icons are about head level, but the rest are below head level. So if you are arranging multiple rows of icons I do not see the lower rows of icons being below head level as a sign of disrespect.
