Some people have icons of their parents, sports players, sports teams and even celebrities posted on their walls. And these same people think it is wrong to have icons depicting saints. We have crucifixes, statues and pictures of saints in most of our rooms of our home, and demons are most uncomfortable in our home. Also when people are having health tribulation, they often call on us to pray for them. I recommend every home should have a shrine to Jesus, His mother and St. Joseph located in a prominent place. We are very dignified with the shrine to the Holy Family we have in our front room.
the Bible says it's wrong. That should be the bottom line.
@@user-sp6co7wn5vthe bible says not to worship images and idolatry, it allows the veneration of holy objects like the tabernacle( which had cherubim images on it). The bible is itself iconargraphy because letters are pictures and these "pictures" convey divine messaging. And before you quote the old testament about not showing God in images, you have to remember that the Son did not incarnate into the world in the old testament but did in the new testament as he is called the icon of the father in the greek of hebrew 1:3. When we venerate a icon of christ or the saints, we giving respect to what they represent, we are not worshipping the image in of it self.
Have a good day and have a blessed day
@@weebmcdonald8834I would add that even the holy temple that King Solomon built for God had icons in it. Also, God told Moses' people to look at the bronze serpent in order to be healed from their sicknesses. It was only when the Israelites started worshipping the bronze serpent later on that it became a problem.
@@user-sp6co7wn5v ahhh, the iconoclast heresy.
The 8th century wants its heretic back
Then what would you say about the veneration of icons in the Old Testament? Not tryi n to be rude, but the evidence is right in front of us, clear as day.
Succinct yet informative. Thank you.
beautiful icons
Well done!
Do the orthodox use crucifices? Cool if so!
Yes of course !
Where can I get great icons like these in Australia?
Im from Norway. I got it from my Church
There are online stores … www.monasteryicons.com/
@@JimmyGarcia58 DO NOT BUY FROM THAT STORE they are a satanic group they also sell to other religions and bless them with hindu rituals
Uncut mountain supply or legacy icons are great too
Etsy has some great stuff
We have a shrine of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, the Holy Family. We have a votive candle in a votive glass holder. It is a warm feeling. However, I want to warn that votive candles candles can be a home fire hazard. Pets can knock them over. When the candle burns at the last bit of wax, the wax becomes hot and vaporized, and the flame gets large and fierce. We have our votive candle glass placed inside a larger glass bowl to be more careful should the candle become too fierce. And we have no combustible paper or fabrics near the votive candle.
This is an old video and I probably wont get an answer, but is it okay to have an icon of The Mother of God holding baby Jesus without another icon just with Jesus? Sorry for bad english
I'm new to this too, but I've heard of icon corners with only a single icon of Jesus or a single icon of the Virgin mary. I don't even have an icon corner yet though. but I don't think it's a problem from the research I've done.
@@cagefunk7581 Thank you and may God bless you
To you as well
This may sound silly. But is it ok to Have multiple icons of one person? Be it Christ, the Theokos, or another?
@MarkiPlayz-TrenchKillz from what ive seen, many people do have muitple, esp of Christ! maybe google some examples?
Yes! There are many depictions of Christ and the Theotokos, too.
Yes
I don't have a corner exactly, I have a icon shelf that faces east and my candles and icons are sitting infront of a row of DC graphic novels. Sorry best I can do lol.
I love this! Would it be possible to reuse this video with our own voiceover for a church project? I am part of a Coptic Orthodox Church in the United States. God bless you for making this!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I badly wanna know where did you get that icon candle holder from. Tia
To create a basic icon corner, you also need an icon of the Holy Trinity.
Do the icons face east or do I face east when I stand before the icons?
Thank you
Ofc, we face east, because during crucifixion, Jesus faced west
@@and12345.conan.Also because Jesus Christ will come from the East at the second Coming.
Churches are also built to face east
Can you have one icon and one cross but the icon is with mary and jesus on the same icon does that count or
Where do I buy any of this stuff?
Churches and Monasteries.
@OrthodoxKyle has some videos on icons and where to buy them
Hi! Where do you purchase your icons from?
Here in Canada I went to Walmart and printed out the image i wanted as icon that I saved from google. Then I bought the frame that fits it and it turned out perfectly
@@catalincata9043 that's exactly what I did..... Got it done in less than 5$ and it looks like a painting
www.monasteryicons.com/
I buy from store above but also buy from my church.
Ideally from an Orthodox church nearby
@@omfriend that's what I did but after attending Divine Liturgy I bought church blessed icon of Jesus Christ hand painted on wood (that's a big difference) and a cross.
They give off a strong sense of Holiness. Only cost $20! Both prices were $30 for the handmade wooden painted icon cross and $20 for the icon of Jesus Christ the teacher.
Cool
Facing east or against eastern wall?
@@RockinMatthias Thank you ! Unfortunately, the space I have available is facing west...but I suppose God in His mercy, the One who rules over North, South, East or West, would not judge me for that! 😏
When the pagans bow down to icons of their demons in worship, are they worshipping them or "venerating" (which means to worship) them?
Venerating and worshipping are related concepts but have distinct meanings, particularly in religious contexts:
1. Venerating: This refers to showing great respect, honor, or reverence towards someone or something. Veneration does not involve attributing divinity or performing acts of devotion that are reserved for a deity. For example, people might venerate saints, heroes, or ancestors as a way of acknowledging their virtues and seeking their intercession or inspiration.
2. Worshipping: This involves acts of devotion, adoration, and reverence directed toward a deity or divine being. Worship typically includes rituals, prayers, sacrifices, and other practices meant to honor and connect with the divine. Worship implies a belief in the deity's power, divinity, and role in the lives of the worshippers.
@@joshuawebster0861 Stop coming up with excuses. Do you think your wordplay and redefining of words will stand up before God's throne of judgement, when you are accused of idolatry?
@@SteliosMusic What I understand from this is that you completely disregarded the two definitions. You are coming into the comments section out of a place of judgement with a lack of desire of understanding, which will only get us so far in this conversation.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners ☦️
@@joshuawebster0861 Ironic, when you disregard the Bible's clear teachings on idolatry - even your profile picture is an image.
If you want to talk about definitions, here's the proper root of the word 'Venerate':
"Venerate comes from the Latin root venerārī, which has the various meanings of "to solicit the good will of," "to worship," "to pay homage to," and "to hold in awe." That root is related to Venus, which, as a proper noun, is the name of the Roman goddess of love and beauty."
@@SteliosMusic Because Jesus came as a physical human being, physicality has become a part of our understanding of spirituality.
The icons represent Christ but are not Christ.
You are an icon. You are made in the image of God. You are not an idol.
Icons are not idols therefore that commandment doesn’t go against them.
Take into account the icons made by Moses (I.e ark of the covenant with the cherubim) and king Solomon (I.e temple of Solomon).
Take into account even the ancient jews used icons and the early Christian’s use of icons.
Jesus became incarnate.
Also, I encourage you research the 7th ecumenical council.
God Bless you ☦️
I bought mine through Etsy
Which prayer books where those shown?
4 οὐ ποιήσεις σεαυτῷ εἴδωλον, οὐδὲ παντὸς ὁμοίωμα, ὅσα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω καὶ ὅσα ἐν τῇ γῇ κάτω καὶ ὅσα ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς. 5 οὐ προσκυνήσεις αὐτοῖς, οὐδὲ μὴ λατρεύσεις αὐτοῖς· ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, Θεὸς ζηλωτής, ἀποδιδοὺς ἁμαρτίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα, ἕως τρίτης καὶ τετάρτης γενεᾶς τοῖς μισοῦσί με
.... yay 2nd commandment
That’s not a cross it’s a crucifix 😊 no offense
Beautiful work
Just needs a rosary
These aren't icons, they're idols...graven images.
They are icons. I don’t want to sound repetitive if you’ve heard this statement before, but it’s no different than you having a picture up of a loved one in your house or on your desk at work. Idolatry is the worship of a false god or something that you submit yourself to. You aren’t worshipping the imagery of the saints, Mary, or Jesus but rather using it as a way to remember their essence. Kind of like how you don’t love the image of your family but rather what it represents.
@@memesouls8653 I've got news for you, buddy. I don't need a degree in theology to know bullshit when I hear it.
@@user-rg5vt9wi8q Great comeback buddy. Really sold your point there. 👍
@@memesouls8653 Yes, I thought it was brilliant myself, too.
I wasn't trying to sell anything. You're the one dishing out the B.S. All I did was point out the obvious.
@@user-rg5vt9wi8q So if it’s B.S and nonsense then why haven’t you given out any evidence against it? I made my point clear in a respectful manner but you had to just prove you were the more “knowledgeable” person without giving any reason for your opinion. I’m not going to outright disagree with your opinion, but I’m not going to take anyone seriously who can’t do anything other than insult others rather than having a meaningful conversation.
Let me introduce you to iconoclasm.
No thank you
@drag0nfly_girl amen
Let me introduce you to the Second Council of Nicaea which condemns iconoclasm and pronounces anathemas on iconoclasts ☺️
@@jasonaw2 💛💛💛
Let me introduce you to St. John of Damascus
dont you know that bowing to people as icons is a sin (you are doing against law, breaking all of the law agreement, that is if you are under law or make your own law), instead of letting God be with-in you as your righteousness. dont you want Christ to be your king.
When we bow do Icons, we bow to the person represented in the Icon, not the piece of wood infornt of us. Sorry for bad english
Demonic images, no need of those things in praying to God
Obviously not needed for prayer, but they can help. Also wdym by Icons of Christ etc. being demonic??
@@krakowiak6835 what help? It was writen not to make images. Why you do not follow?
@@reylambarte5615 Icons arent idols if thats what you mean.
@@krakowiak6835 do you tell me that when you pray those images are not in your mind?
@@reylambarte5615 What do you mean? Of course you would acknowledge that the Icon is infornt of you, however you arent praying to the piece of wood infornt of you but to whom is represented in the Icon. Hope this clears it up and sorry for bad english. Also Im no theologian so I recommend searching on the internet for more and better explained answers
Stavljen je krst rimokatolički između ikona.Nije dobro.)
Is having a depiction of Jesus not good enough for you heterodox pharisees?
