We call it an Icon Corner. Just type it in your search engine and you'll find a lot of info.

I have one. It has icons, of course, but also statues my RC friends have given to me over the years. They coexist quite well.

i know they also call it a icon corner
i was just curious if the eastern rite
catholic church promoted the use of icon corners
as i said i have a yahoo group to support
those who believe in setting a side sacred
space in your home for a icon corner and for those
from a non byzantine background who wish to learn about them i try to educate people on the benefits and the beauty of having one in your home and how it can be a focal point in
your home and how you can share your faith with others
when they ask what it that

It is also called (especially in Slavic languages) the "Bright Corner". Here is an old article from our friend Dr. Alexander Roman, parishoner of St. Nicholas UGCC in Toronto. http://storesonline.com/site/1286684/product/00
