Icons and Woodwork for our Holy Sanctuary

Thanks be to God, on 22 March 2024, we received our order from Thessaloniki and the Skete of Saint Anna, Mount Athos, Greece.  The shipment included the icons for the Iconostasis, the Altar Table, the Bishop's Throne, two icon stands, the reliquary cases, candle stands for the Narthex, and 160 seats.  Our gratitude to the Fathers of the Theophileon Brotherhood at the Skete who wrote our icons and George Oikonomides, his family, and their workers for the beautiful woodwork.  May our Lord continue to keep all of them in His care, granting them every gift unto salvation.

Sacred Alaska is an award-winning documentary that offers an intimate look into Native Alaskan culture and spirituality. It showcases the profound influence of Orthodoxy, introduced by Russian monks in the late 18th century, on Alaskan society. The film highlights the unique way Alaskans have woven their indigenous beliefs with Orthodox traditions, deeply influencing their worldview. Central to this is the concept of learning to become a "real person." Through beautiful cinematography and powerful storytelling, "Sacred Alaska" underscores the profound, sacred bond between the Alaskan people, their faith, and the formidable landscape they call home.
