This is our holy Orthodoxy -- always patient and ready to receive us into its healing light. Amazing how a little corner in the house like this becomes a complete church in itself; in turn a whole cosmos filled with God's love, embracing all who approach "in faith and love". Our own threshold to Aslan's country.
Right there, next to the bathroom.

What an utterly gorgeous icon corner :-)
I have to admit-- I have never been completely reconciled to the prohibition against icons in the bathroom....I think the problem is, our 'bathrooms', unlike in the UK for example, are both toilets and actual rooms for --bathing--. "...and one room for the care of the body, without shame..." is part of one Celtic saint's idea of an ideal hermitage...this picture captures the spirit!

oops, sorry, don't know why that doubled...hey, your link to your parish website does not work cause you used an @ instead of a dot.
Icons are prohibited in bathrooms? How come no one has told us?
um.........
Yeah -- one of our places in Edinburgh had two rooms: one with toilet and sink, one with bathtub and sink. Most civilized. I object to having to brush my teeth in the same room where. . .where. . .you know. I suppose I could brush them in the kitchen, now that I think about it.
This is just lovely!
