Icon corners - please post pictures

Post by Maria »

Here is a beautiful icon corner from Finland.

A secretary is a wonderful place to place religious objects, especially when one is short on livable space with relatives that are not Christian.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Yeah, I see what you mean.
The menorah suddenly present with the rest does show how various objects can compete with Icons for a small space.
Still, it does look elegant how the Finns arranged their corner over the pretty varnished secretary, compartmentalizing the Icon corner effectively.
The small one with the 2 figures, second from the left, would that be Sts Peter and Paul, or another pair of Saints ?

I detect a Sofrino lampada.

The other 2 photos inspire one to create an in-home chapel. Looks SO nice, especially with the gentle candlelight of the evening pic.

[Note : It's pleasant to see a usual Znamenskaya icon after that horror the other day - ! ]

Menorah? Isn't that a Jewish religious object? Hmmm...
