New Iconostasis at St. Michael's Mission in North Carolina
Dear Friends in Christ,
Here are some of the images of our new iconostasis at St. Michael's Mission in North Carolina. It was constructed like the earlier Byzantine templon and inspired by New Skete's design. The additional images are of my father (who is a deacon) and myself serving the Divine Liturgy with our pastor, Fr. Mark.
The mission iconostasis evolved from two icons on small tables, to two bi-fold closet doors to it's current state.
The 1700 sq foot retail space is ideal for the mission at this time. We built an large L-shaped wall in a section of the space, then constructed a platform and then built the iconostasis. The new construction took approximately 4 weeks to complete and was done by a small number of mission volunteers, including my family and my father-in-law.
We still have a number of more cosmetic gold items to add to it. The theme is the Lord's Vineyard and the molding is made up of grapevines.
Please say a prayer today for our little mustard seed mission in the Southland!
God bless,
Fr. Deacon Daniel
