Nice! What about tiny sizes like ones you could have in your car dash board?

If Fr Mark comes back, wow, this is really an admirable project upon which he is embarking.
He offers about every type imaginable of the icon boards, everything custom-done to suit the buyer. Impressive !

I hope his business does really well.

Matthew's inquiry got me researching a little.

I found a few selections of car Icons available here :

But only a limited number. If Fr Mark could begin those tiny icon boards so that people could have them in their cars,
whether taped to the dash or hanging from the rearview mirror, it would provide a very important help.
How much we need protection from Heaven while on the roads.

Maybe Fr Irineos will learn how to write some icons in the meantime, while the tiny boards are being developed - !

For the vast majority of the current small car icon selections are only from Sofrino. It would be wonderful to have more options.

Icon boards in cars may not be a good idea as the excessive heat and extremes in temperatures can cause problems.

Even plastic covered icon pins and those plastic laminated icon cards warp in the heat.

I have seen people place small engraved metal icons in their cars, which can withstand the elements.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
