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.
