Forgive me for asking a question that to some may seem silly, but I've come across a number of saints that I'd like to add to my icon corner. Of course, icons can be costly and in other cases icons of certain saints are just very hard to find (for instance, some lesser-known Coptic saints such as St. Abanoub and newer saints such as Maria Skobtsova and John Karastamatis). Is it okay to cut icons out of catalogues, or otherwise to copy and print icons found in an online image search (assuming they're not copyrighted) in order to frame and venerate them? I do recall having read somewhere that various ascetics used paper icons so as to avoid the spirit of pride that may come with having ornate, beautiful icons.

Another consideration is that when cutting an icon image from an old catalog, there's usually an image on the opposite side of the page that will then be cut up... am I being overly scrupulous here?
