Fr. Deacon Jessup,
Wow! Any idea when the iconstasis was built?
I'm guessing that along the top are the twelve Apostles, under that scenes from Our Lord's life, centered on the Last Supper, and around the Doors, the Transfiguration(?), Christ, Virgin and Child, and ?

Most of the icon screens in area Gr. Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches were brought over from Europe, around the 1880's-to the early 1900's. My own parish, in Jessup, Pa., has an equally beautiful, and similarly aged icon screen, but we do not have a parish website. I have pictures, but this board won't accept them (they don't fit the required format). You can get a closer, and fuller, look at the Kington icon screen by going on their website. In Christ, Dn. Robert

What is your source of info for ikonostas construction here in America? I was told that they were built by immigrant craftsmen like John Baycura and the icons painted by a German artist. That German artist worked on most if not all of the early Rusyn and Ukrainian Greek Catholic Churches here in America.
If you look through the actual fraternal newspapers, (i.e.ARV) there were always bi-lingual adds for liturgical artisans working in America.

In my parish's 100th anniversary publication, there is mention of the fact that our icon screen (Holy Ghost Byzantine-Ruthenian Catholic Church, Jessup, Lackawanna County, Pa.), was brought over from Austria-Hungary, and assembled in Jessup. I was under the impression, but I may be wrong, that this was what happened in many of the other Greek Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches in Northeast Pa. As to the icons, I am told that they were painted by an artist who did all of the Eastern Orthodox and Greek Catholic Churches in the area. I didn't get any names. They are of "western holy picture" style, like you will find in some of the large Orthodox churches in Russia. In Christ, Dn. Robert
