How to choose a Kazan Orthodox icon
If the icon is for daily home prayer, choose a size that will fit naturally into your icon corner. For a wedding pair, the Kazan Mother of God icon is usually ordered together with an icon of Christ in the same size and decorative style. For a church, chapel, or formal gift, a larger board, gold background, kiot, or filigree decoration may be more appropriate.
