I think it's interesting to note that in the photos, the deacons are vested in a Single Orarion, not the Double Orarion that we are used to seeing in the Ruthenian Church in the USA. From my understanding they are following the Slavic (or more correctly Russian ?) practice of the Single; with the double being awarded for service or some other worthy reason. My guess would be the Russicum supplied the deacons.

Orthodox Wiki notes the double as being the norm for greek use; it is in the Russian use that it is a reward, and the single is normative. http://orthodoxwiki.org/OrarionThe Pittsburgh Metropolia is in a Graecophilia phase... This was in use in the Metropolia even when we had no deacons and priests vested as deacons for hierarchal Liturgies.

Those pictures were wonderful! The marble is gorgeous. I would love to visit the Church sometime. I read about it and it is most impressive.
