I am looking for a website that has good quality Sacred Icons and then information as to "How to Read" each of these Icons. I realize size of objects, color, relationship of the various parts, etc. etc. all have significance. It is very difficult to understand and appreciate Sacred Icons if one does not have some training and education from a spiritual point of view. I realize Sacred Icons tells a story and/or helps define a truth of our Faith - but I need someone to, sort to speak, take me by the hand and guide me. Any suggestions.

Dear Willie,

I've always liked the following sites. Don't know if they are exactly what you need, but give them a try and let me know if they were of any help:
