There is an opinion that an old icon in a house can harm its inhabitants. Someone thinks this is a prejudice, while someone assures that this statement is well founded. Is it really worth keeping an ancient icon at home?
An icon in a house can make the atmosphere in it brighter and more blissful, and in some cases it can even prevent the misfortune that threatens the owners of the house. However, the opinions of people about the presence of an ancient icon in the living quarters are not so unambiguous. They say it can be dangerous to keep her in the house. What is this danger?
Why are people afraid to keep old icons at home?
From the point of view of esotericism, any thing "with history" carries the strongest energy and "remembers" all the events - both positive and negative - that happened to its former owners. It goes without saying that the ancient icon has changed many owners during its existence; in addition, our ancestors have always treated icons as shrines, which only intensifies the vibrations emanating from such things. It is believed that not every person is able to cope with the flows of energy transmitted by an ancient icon, and such a thing in the house can even harm weakened or weak people in the house.
In this regard, the priests of the Orthodox Church have an unequivocal opinion that the icon in the house is in any case a source of only good and light and in no case is capable of harming anyone. Fathers consider such arguments to be heresy and suppress them harshly enough. On the contrary, the ancient icon is considered more "prayerful" than the modern one, and therefore should be an object of veneration to an even greater extent.
What is the risk of someone who keeps an ancient icon at home?
The owner of an old icon may actually be in danger, but this has nothing to do with the actions of the Higher Forces. The fact is that an icon painted several decades or even centuries ago has a huge value, and some people who want to have such a rarity in their private collections can go to great lengths for this. The owner of such an icon runs the risk of losing it at any time if intruders climb into his house. If, by an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances, one of the family members is at home at that moment, then irreparable damage may occur, because the value of the ancient icon is very high and in this regard, the robber is able to do anything.
Is it really necessary to get rid of the shrine kept in your house in order not to bring trouble on yourself and your family? Of course not. Just spread less about what relic you have, and provide decent security for your home. It is very effective and quite inexpensive, for example, to conclude a contract with a security company - in this case, if an unauthorized entry into your house occurs, men in uniform will arrive and detain the intruders within a few minutes. Preserving the icon and passing it on to descendants is the duty of a true believer.
