The icon corner, sacred corner or red corner, (Greek: εικονοστάσι) is a small Christian worship space prepared in the homes of Eastern Orthodox, Greek-Catholic, Eastern Lutheran and Roman Catholic[1] Christians. It has pre-Christian roots[2] and also appears in homes of Rodnovers.[3] The analogous concept in Western Christianity is the home altar.
