Having recently moved to a new (and much cheaper) flat out in the back and beyond of Beijing, I now have more breathing room for an icon corner (above).

Top (left to right): A copy of the Miracle Working Icon of the Our Lady of Chernobyl; Christ the Shepherd; Synaxis of the Archangels

Middle: Ss. Peter and Paul; St. Mitrophan (Chin) and the 222 Holy Chinese Martyrs of the Boxer Rebellion (given to me at St. Luke’s Cathedral in Hong Kong); St. John Maximovich the Wonderworker (my patron saint); St. Cedd (pronounced “Sed”…. or Seth…. or Kedd… no one’s really sure! a 7th century English saint - the icon was given to me by my godfather); Ss. John the Apostle and Prochros (like this). Above St. John Maximovich is the Port Arthur Icon of the Mother of God. Laying flat on the shelf - casting the shadows - are (left to right): Ss. Elizabeth, Grand Duchess and Hly Royal Martyr, and Holy Nun-martyr Barbera; Crucifix; Icon of the Crucifixion (from Jerusalem). The Icons of the Cucifixion and Ss. Elizabeth and Barbera are shown here.

Bottom: My prayer books (given by my priest in England); Icon of the Mother of God and Lord Jesus Christ (usually standing - on the reverse is the Jesus Prayer in English and Chinese); New Testament and Psalms.
