In addition to the icons mentioned (Christ, Theotokos, patron saints) I also like having an icon of at least one angel when I\'m praying. It\'s nice to look at the icon of the Guardian Angel when saying the prayer to our guardian angel. Our prayer corner includes many other icons that are significant to us, such as the Wedding at Cana (for married folks) and icons of our godchildren\'s patron saints. The vast majority are replications from St Isaak of Syria Skete\'s icon catalog.
I\'ve seen a wide variety of the use of icons in homes. Sometimes people just have a few, while others have their entire walls covered. The important thing is that we take the time to pray, no matter how many icons we may or may not have.
