Question 454

Good evening father. I have a lot of icons. Some are damaged. I don't know what to do with them. I would never throw them. But some are beyond saving. How do I deal with this?       

 

Answer to Question 454

The best way to dispose of old unwanted icons or anything else that has been blessed is to burn them and throw or bury the ashes in the corner of the garden or somewhere which would not be purposely trodden
