St. Juliana Russian Orthodox Dome & Cross

Fr. Luke Supervises George Ossorgin & Elier Erives as the Cross is freed from the Crate

George Ossorgin Guides the Cross onto the Dome - 11/20/09

We humbly ask for contributions to be used on our continuing iconsostasis project. Matushka Celeste Ryder has been trained in the traditional fashion and is faithfully and enthusiastically taking on the huge task of writing all of the icons for the iconostasis. The majority of the iconstasis is in place with temporary icons thanks to Fr. Luke's hard work.
The recent installation of our first Orthodox Dome & Cross rests at the highest elevation (exceeds 7000') in the country.
ANY HELP towards these endeavors are greatly appreciated!
