I need helping finding a new retailer online that sells Icons. I tried the Archangel Store online, but that place is horrible. It takes over a month for your package to arrive and shipping cost like $20. So, what's the best place on the net to purchase Icons?

I like Come and See for the variety and St Joseph School for the options.  |

I ordered from Come and See Icons a couple of times. Never had any problems.

I think I would feel strange ordering icons online. Kind of a too weird mix of modern and ancient.
That is probably just me though. Fortunately, my parish sells them.

Are you familiar with a wonderful new concept called "humor"?

Get the Official Catalog called Orthodox Byzantine Icons[/u] and you fill out the money order and send it. |

Cal-Hellas has beautiful icons, although they can be a bit expensive: http://www.cal-hellas.com/You should call over the phone and ask for a catalogue to be mailed to you. The website is not that active, and orders are better handled over the phone. They also have great incense. Holy Transfiguration Monastery also has a large selection of great icons: http://www.bostonmonks.com/index.php/cPath/27 |

Get the Official Catalog called Orthodox Byzantine Icons[/u] and you fill out the money order and send it. IIRC, it's the same as going to www.skete.com. St. Isaac of Syria Skete. (Apparently, it's again without a bishop.) |

Not to be flippantly dismissive, but something of such a personal nature as this is best addressed by your priest, not by anonymous yahoos on an Internet discussion forum.

I ordered recently from Uncut Mountain. I am thoroughly satisfied with the product. http://uncutmountainsupply.com/I have ordered laminates from Skete.com in the past and no issues. |
