Should know where should be icons in the apartment. When you call the person with the prayer he should face the East. Following this tradition, the Eastern wall of the room is the right place for the location of the icons. However, not always the layout of the apartment can afford to do it, as on the East side can accommodate the window. Do not put the icon next to the window and the radiator, it will lead to its deterioration due to the heat and draughts.

There is nothing wrong, if you place icons in another location of the room, as sincere prayer will still be heard, no matter in what place the Holy image hanging. In front of the icon should be enough free space to the worshipers could take in their thoughts and requests without being distracted with distress and inconvenience.

Next to the icons should not be secular books, TV, posters, figurines, calendars and paintings. In front of icons put or hang the lamp.
