A Question of Religious Imagery

[Jimbo9889]

I am in the process of improving my Home Chapel in my bedroom, currently I have an Icon of Christ the Teacher, the Theotokos, and the Synaxis of the Archangels. However, I also have received as an early Christmas Gift a larger religious painting of The Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Now my question is simple, can I add this new Religious Painting of Christ to my Prayer Corner in my room despite already having an Icon of Christ too? If so, I guess the larger religious painting ought to be in the Center with the smaller and older picture to the right of the larger religious painting?

It’s really up to you.I have the larger in the middle because I think it looks nicer, but does not have to be that way.

My :twocents: or what it’s worth.

This is totally up to you. There are no “rubrics” pertaining to “home chapels”. When I put together my shrine, I tried to present a church feeling so I built a scaled-down Altar.

Wow, that is beautiful!
