Home iconostasis

Home iconostasis is like small home church – old orthodox tradition.
Icons should be in any orthodox house by all means, but reasonably. Don’t forget that there is a strict hierarchy of icon arrangement. The main place is for the Holy Trinity icon, it is always situated above the others. Below there are icons of the Mother of God, the Saviour and St. Nicolas the Miracle-Worker. After these icons we can put specially revered ones or images of family patrons. Icons in iconostasis are placed in a form of a cross or two or three icons in a line. An iconostasis should be situated on the eastern wall of the room.
                   “One can feel a special silence in an icon, a silence of an eternity. It is not lack of sounds, not a vacuum of life, … but a silence as a harmony perfection, as a fullness of life. It is like white colour is not lack of colour, but a synthesis and fullness of all colours of the rainbow. The icon’s silence – is a dynamic silence, increasing silence, which brings a person, praying in front of the icon, from our world to the Heaven. Human soul almost physically feels that an icon is surrounded by spiritual power and energy … An icon brings a man into the world of eternity. .......Paints and colours of an icon are not just colours, but beats of a hymn which our soul sings to God.”Archimandrite Raphael
