If possible, locate the [[iconIcon]] corners are typically located in the north- or south-east corner of a room, or on an east -facing wall of the house so that you face east while praying. According to Orthodox belief, [[Christ]], since East is the light of the world, will come again from the East. Choose a relatively private area conducive to [[traditional direction for Orthodox prayer]] but accessible to all of the family. Some people prefer an upstairs halllway; others select the parents' bedroom. The choice is yours.

An '''icon corner''' is the family's place of worship, also called the '''home altar'''. Its concept of the church of the home is an old Orthodox tradition. It started in the first century when there were no churches and Christians would gather in private homes to worship.
