There is an opinion that an old icon in a house can harm its inhabitants. Someone considers this a prejudice, and someone assures that this statement is justified. Is it really worth keeping the old icon at home?

The icon located in the house can make the atmosphere in it lighter and more blessed, and in some cases it can even prevent the misfortune that threatens the owners of the house. However, regarding the location in the premises of an old icon, people's opinions are not so clear. They say that it can be dangerous to keep her in the house. What is this danger?
Why are people afraid to keep old icons at home?
From the point of view of esotericism, any thing “with history” carries the strongest energy and “remembers” all events - both positive and negative - that occurred with its former owners. Of course, that the ancient icon during its lifetime has changed many owners; in addition, our ancestors always regarded icons as shrines, which only enhances the vibrations emanating from such things. It is believed that not every person is able to cope with the energy flows that the ancient icon broadcasts, and such a thing in the house can even harm people who are weakened or weak in faith.
On this occasion, the priests of the Orthodox Church have the unequivocal opinion that the icon in the house in any case is a source of only good and light and in no way is capable of harming anyone. Such arguments are considered by the priest to be heresy and rather rigidly suppress them. On the contrary, the ancient icon is considered more “prayed” than the modern one, and therefore it should be worshiped even more.
