In order to make an iconostasis, you need icons illuminated in the church. Among the icons, there must be an icon with the image of the Savior, the Mother of God, the Trinity and the Guardian Angel. You can also purchase personalized icons and icons with the face of the Saints. In the center should be the image of the Savior, and to the right of him the Mother of God.
Instructions
Step 1
The iconostasis should be made in several rows and located in the corner closer to the east. The first row must necessarily consist of the image of the Savior and the Mother of God holding the baby in her arms.
Step 2
The second row is called "Deesis". It should have smaller icons, but there should be more of them. In the center is the icon of the Savior in power, to the right of him is the image of John the Baptist, the Baptist of the Lord, to the left is the icon of the Mother of God. Place the holy archangels on the sides.
Step 3
The third row is “festive”. On it are icons depicting the Annunciation, the Nativity of Christ, the Transfiguration, the Crucifixion, etc.
Step 4
The fourth row is “prophetic”. In the center, place the Mother of God and the Child on the throne, on the sides of the prophets.
The fifth row is "forefather". In the center - "Old Testament Trinity", on the sides of the forefathers. Maybe more rows - all at your discretion.
Step 5
You can mount it directly on the wall, for this, use a punch to make holes in the wall, drive in a dowel, insert a screw or screw into it and attach the icons.
Step 6
You can also make an iconostasis on a canvas made of wood. For this we need a fiberboard, a drill and a screw. Use a drill to drill the holes, fix the screw.
Step 7
You can decorate the iconostasis with a clean white towel. To complete, put on church candles.
