How to choose a Saint Nicholas Orthodox icon
For a personal gift or home prayer, sizes such as 17×21 cm or 20×24 cm may be practical. For a family icon corner, 27×31 cm or 30×40 cm gives the image more presence. For a church, chapel, or iconostasis, a larger custom size and a protective kiot may be more appropriate.
