A friend of mine lives in a rather small apartment and he has a beautiful mural size Icon (covers an entire wall) of the Holy Apostles receiving Holy Communion from Jesus Christ. He was concerned prior to a first date with a certain woman because he was not sure if she was a Christian (let alone Orthodox). An Orthodox priest told him to cover the Icon with a large sheet because it might be too much for her to digest.

I must admit, I was somewhat disturbed at this advice.

Any thoughts on this?
