Unique home decor items for Christians.

When someone comes to visit your home, can they tell that you are a Christian? I am not talking about a sign on the door that says: "Beware of Christian". I am talking about a unique home decor items. The Scriptures say that "Where our treasure is there our heart will be also."What is your treasure? If you are a Christian then your HEART will reflect the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. Your home should be a home that you would want to invite others to and a place that reflects that wonderful relationship you have with the Lord.

Of course you might think...yes I have a small cross on the wall and some candles around, as it is said: "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house." Matthew 5:15

Of course candles and cross are excellent! But Where is it suitable to put? Does it fits everywhere? Here is some advices about a Christian way, for a unique decoration of the house. Not only the Chinese tradition is talking about a home decor and home decor items, in Christianity we have also some practical advices about a house decoration! Did you know that? Many people I am talking with, are not aware at all about that. I am talking about some unique and special way to decor the house so you can call it home.

At the door there should be a small basin for holy water. Every time we return home we should cleanse ourselves through an act of faith and through making the sign of the cross with holy water. The centre should not be the television, but a prayer corner. This corner may be separated with a curtain. In the evening or when we want to pray together or individually, the curtain may be open. The corner should not lack the cross or an icon of the Holy Virgin with the Child Jesus in her arms.The icon must awaken worship in us and dispose us to true love to Christ. There may also be some other variant of decoration – instead of a prayer corner there may be a free wall with a big picture, of Christ’s face, and the cross with the name of Jesus on the side wall. It is desirable that before the icon there should be a little icon lamp, similar to altar eternal light.

One side wall might have the cross painted on it without the figure of Christ and another one might have an empty tomb hewn out of the rock and a rolled-away stone likewise painted on it as the symbol of Christ’s resurrection. As it is said:

"And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty:..." 2 Chronicles 3:6
Here is an excellent place where you can get a really blessed and unique home decor items.

There may be more variants of decoration, but the rule is that this all has to dispose to prayer and sanctify the place. Then our homes will be filled with the peace of the Holy Spirit.
