Icon Prayer Shrines

I love making these little prayer shrines!


I use recycled Altoids tins....


and beautiful paper...



and prints of Charles' original icons.


Here is one of St. Agatha, patroness of women with breast cancer.

These shrines are lovely for home prayer spaces, for hospitals, hospices and for travel.  I love making them because it is a small way to glorify God and to spread the word about icons!
