In order to make an iconostasis, you will need icons illuminated in the church. Among the icons, there must necessarily be an icon with the image of the Savior, the Mother of God, the Trinity and the Guardian Angel. You can also purchase personalized icons and icons with the face of the Saints. In the center should be the image of the Savior, and to the right of him the Mother of God.
Instruction manual
1
The iconostasis should be made in several rows and located in a corner closer to the east. The first row must necessarily consist of the image of the Savior and the Mother of God holding a baby in her arms.

The second row is called "deesis". It should have smaller icons, but there should be more in number. In the center is the icon of the Savior in power, to the right of it is the image of John the Baptist, the Baptist of the Lord, to the left - the icon of the Mother of God. Place the holy archangels on each side.

The third row is "festive". On it are icons depicting the Annunciation, the Nativity of Christ, the Transfiguration, the Crucifixion, etc.

The fourth row is “prophetic”. In the center, place the Virgin and Child with the baby on the throne, on the sides of the prophets.
The fifth row is the "forefather". In the center is the "Old Testament Trinity", on the sides of the forefathers. Maybe more rows - everything is up to you.

You can mount it directly on the wall, for this, use a puncher to make holes in the wall, drive in the dowel, insert a screw or screw into it and attach the icons.

You can also make an iconostasis on a canvas of wood. To do this, we need a fiberboard, drill and screw. Using a drill, drill holes, fasten the screw.
