În limbajul cotidian, lucrurile cele mai frumoase sunt indicate prin expresia „frumos ca o icoană”, iar cele care trebuie păstrate cu cea mai mare grijă sunt „puse la icoane”, spre a li se asigura protecția maximă.

Eu nu stiu contextul, desigur, respectiv daca expresia trebuie inteleasa ad literam. Poate un context mai larg ar ajuta, sau o explicatie... Nu vad cum poate fi un lucru "pus la icoana" la propriu, decat daca e vorba despre o fotografie, de ex., sau ceva de dimensiune foarte reduse. Eu am interpretat sensul ca fiind unul figurat, desigur.
