For Orthodox Christians, icons in the house are a special amulet. All believers must have images of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Most Holy Theotokos, His Most Pure Mother, hanging in their homes.

What kind of nonsense is this, if you are already writing on Orthodox topics, then at least understand the issue, outright nonsense.
Thank you very much! God bless you!
Thank you
Yes, it is correctly written that a certain icon helps with every request. And a house with icons becomes brighter. God bless you!
With any request you can turn to the Lord and the saints on whom His grace is. And you recommend it like in a pharmacy: this is paracetamol for headaches, this is no-spa for muscle spasms, and you have one saint, like paracetamol, another or another, like no-spa.
Do not mislead people.
I think that we need to pray to different Saints, because one will help you find a husband, another will help you find children, and the third will bless you for work. Perhaps you don’t know how many icons of Pr. there are. There are more than 600 icons of the Mother of God, and she came to different people and helped in various troubles, and she always appeared in different guises. God help everyone...
Everything happens according to the will of God and the icon is the face of a saint or saint, as you like, and the main thing is to pray so that faith... does not disappear
Sergius of Radonezh, rector of my guardian angels
believe, pray, live
Icons are just drawings! Don’t even think about worshiping what was created by man! God is not a drawing, and it is not through a drawing that he hears us. But only by directly turning to him in prayer!
I wonder why the most important Orthodox icon of the Savior is not on this list at all? Yes, and there is no separate icon of the Mother of God, it doesn’t matter whether it is Kazan, Bethlehem, Joy of All Who Sorrow, or something else….
Paganism in its purest form. Starting from the first sentence, icons are powerful amulets. Think about what we're talking about. It’s not enough for you to have God, you also need a bunch of gods, and give them positions. They will do everything for you, just put the candle in the right place. You have walked away from God, you have walked away...
Yes, there are no special icons, they are all the same, this is your Faith, this is how you are rewarded!
Icons of the Lord and His Most Holy Mother (Her image is chosen by your heart, and not the advice of anyone) are needed in the house. Who will I thank for my joy? First of all, Them. And in times of sorrow and illness, turn to them too. And the image of the saint (or saints) is also chosen by your heart. For each image, as one abbot said, we must read at least a troparion every day.Previously, icons were not consecrated, but were anointed and thereby “came to life”, listened and heard those praying and helped. This connection with the Lord, the Queen of Heaven, and the saints is “established” through heartfelt prayer to them. A beloved saint will always help in everything useful for a person.
What other amulets, what kind of pagan shamanism? Saints are intercessors for the salvation of our souls before God, first of all, and not agents in a specialization bureau of good offices.
Once I wandered into a church, bought an icon, and on the same day I was robbed. I came to the conclusion that all these hand-made icons are, to put it mildly, just pictures! And you shouldn’t convince them that they can do something - it’s a lie. No icon can cure or save. If God wants to heal, help, etc. he will do it without priests, icons and churches!!! The main thing is to have faith in your heart!!!
Now you have a choice: what to keep 6 icons or 6 medicines in the room?
I agree they need to sell them, so they write all sorts of crap, I have been suffering for 13 years with my legs, brain cysts, hearing loss, I haven’t gone to any holy places, I haven’t prayed to any icons and that the disease is progressing
don’t believe the charlotans God should be in every person’s heart and as he pleases, so it will be with you, you won’t escape your destiny and no icons will help
