Christ is in our midst!!

John Steve,

There are also websites pretending to sell icons that are blasphemous. One example is a group that markets as "Monastery Icons." There was a big discussion about this group decades ago. Basically, they are a New Age group that began as Christian are now involved in paganism. But they still sell what look like icons. We had one of their samples posted here years ago that had a huge snake framing an icon. That should give you an idea.

Don't overlook antique shops and even flea markets.

I've made a number of "rescues" from such vendors.

Of course, not knowing the history of the Icon's use or abuse they always go to the Altar for 40 days.
