What to do with a vigil lamp

Post by Philoteus »

I have a 16x20 Icon. Actually it is an icon with 13 icons within it representing the various mysteries of the life of Jesus Christ such as the annunciation, Mt. Tabor, etc. The middle of this icon is a 6x9 image of Jesus. How high do I place this icon on my wall? Should the middle icon of Jesus be at eye level? And where do I place the vigil lamp which hangs from the wall? Should the lamp/wick, flame or light be also at eye level and should this lamp be at the right or left etc. Or should the vigil lamp be above the icon?

thanks
