In tribute to and memory of its sister parish, St Nicholas in Barberton hosts a page of photos taken that day at its Facebook site.

It is the same sadly for Holy Ghost Byzantine Catholic Church in Cleveland, Ohio, a magnificient edifice but, they just could not maintain it any longer, the final liturgy was held on November 1, 2009 and the video of this is so sad and heartbreaking to watch.

The chandelier, as I recollect, is considered particularly exquisite. Am I right on that? Many years, Neil "One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this.
