By facing east you'd meant to say they're in an east corner right? Facing east'd would mean with they're having faces facing east and that'd be the west corner and wrong!

Julianna dear,
It isn't wrong to have your icon corner facing any certain direction....if east isn't an option...then you have to take the next 'best thing' as it were. I think it's good enough that there's icons in the room and that you pray in that area.....it is best to have icons facing east though....but as I said, some just don't have that option. Please be careful how you word some of your posts too...if you're going to say something is wrong, please explain why...don't just leave it at " it's wrong!" because it will make others defensive and it will end up in an argument of some sort. Forgive me if I've upset you by saying this...I am no expert on this..I'm just relaying what I've been told by others who are more knowledgeable than I am.

In Christ,
the sinner,
MaryCecilia

When I say "icons facing east" I mean that I am facing east and the icons are in front of me.
