Whew! Iāve read through this entire thread!
To the person who asked about where to get blessed salt, try

Like another poster said, I am very heartened by the great number of young people who are doing home altars.
I have statues, pictures and crucifixes all over my house, but I consider my main prayer corner to be my icon corner. I had them hung on a wall w/ a bunch of non-religious pictures and it just didnāt āfit.ā Also, I am awful at nailing pictures straight, so my dh rehung them for me in a corner next to our fire place. I can see it when I sit on my couch in the living room.
Sorry about the poor quality of the picture. If I knew how to make it smaller, it wouldnāt be so annoyingly grainy.
The icons are: the creation of the animals, Saint John Canticus, Protection of the Mother of God, Christ the Teacher, Saint Michael and Madonna and Child.
