NEW CHURCH ICON INSTALLED
On the Feast of the Dormition
On the Feast of the Dormition
We are pleased to announce  our first original icon acquisition for the beautification of our humble temple. This icon is often know by its Greek name of “Platytera Ton Ouranon”; More Spacious than the Heavens, or simply, Πλατυτέρα. It is found in most Orthodox churches in a prominent position — high in the front apse over the Altar table. Our present version measures five feet in diameter and was written by a Khouriee of our Archdiocese; Heather Sommer, see her biography and a larger photo of the Icon HERE.

++WE NEED TO RAISE FUNDS  FOR THIS ICON --- DONATE HERE++
