I've never seen anything like this. This Ukrainian Catholic parish in Pennsylvania has an Iconostas with frosted glass (etched)? icons. Has anyone here seen something similar anywhere else? http://www.stanneukrainiancc.com/photo.htmlJust a note; in reviewing the website, this iconastasis was donated to St Anne's by St. Nicholas Church in Frackville, PA (Mahanoy City, I suspect) and was installed by the men of the parish. Many years, Neil

I believe that St. Nicholas Ruthenian GC Church in Brownsville, PA also has glass icons on it's screen. Please see page 41 of the 75th anniversary directory.

Neil,
The Ukrainian Catholic church in Mahanoy City had a traditional/usual iconastasis. The parish in Frackville is St. Michael the Archangel. There has got to be a mistake on the website. There is a connection, however: the pastor who was at St. Anne's at that time, Fr. Fields, is a parish son and now present pastor of St. Michael's in Frackville - perhaps a type of "outreach" from a more established parish in donating the iconastasis.

John, You're correct - from the Archeparchy's page on St Nicholas Since 1971 a unique glass icon screen complements the outstanding glass windows Many years, Neil

There are also big statues of the Sacred Heart and of the Immaculate Conception on either side of the iconostas. Perhaps this iconostas is another expression of the Romanian Catholics' distinct identity apart from the Orthodox.
