Sts. Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Church Mercer, Pa
This was the last stop yesterday. It's at Camp Nazareth in Mercer. The place is fantastic. It's almost 300 acres total. The Church is only five years old, and it's simply stunning.
The people of the ACROD should be very proud to have such a magnificent facility for their youth.

The church is quite amazing -- I got to ring the bells once, too!

I really don't care for the orange background on the Icons. It seems garish. Other than that the church is wonderful.

Other than that the church is wonderful. ... but at least they copied the full tiered, bent-to-conform to the angle of the roof ikonostas. St. Nicholas GCU Chapel just has a one-tiered Greek style ikonostas, which isn't really used in the Carpathians. Ung
