Beautiful! I like it much better than their "newer" icon screen, which to me looks like a bird cage.

It's so ornate and lovely--one can only imagine what it would look like in color, with gold and silver! Incredible.

Tim,

If you ever been in Hawk Run Church, looks very similar in terms of iconography. The woodworking is also very similiar to St. Michael Church in McAdo PA, their original screen.

It's beautiful! A true "period" piece. It was interesting to note as well that the Immaculate Heart/Pokrova and Sacred Heart frescos on the walls painted are on the wrong sides!
