Sea Cliff, NY: Work
Continues on Iconography in the Memorial Church to the
Re-Establishment of Unity in the Russian Church
Work continues on iconography in
St.
Seraphim Memorial Church to the Re-Establishment of Unity in the
Russian Church. The frescoes are dedicated to the Millennial
Path of the Russian Orthodox Church, culminating in the restoration
within Her of full brotherly communion.
Priest Paul Akmolin (cleric of the Mid-American Diocese) completed
images of the Baptism of Russia and six saints – the first heavenly
intercessors of the Russian land. God willing, Fr. Paul will return
to Sea Cliff in the second half of October, in order to glue the
icons to the walls of the church’s narthex. Depicted in the icon of
Russia’s Baptism, in addition to the Holy Equal-of-the-Apostles St.
Vladimir, are depicted the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called (in
honor of the departed Andrei Gevorgian), St. Elizabeth, Wonderworker
of Constantinople (in honor of the departed Elizabeth Olhovsky), the
Equals-of-the-Apostles Sts. Cyril & Methodius, the first Russian
martyrs Sts. Theodore
and
John,
Venerable
Nestor,
and
others.
Parishioners will be
grateful for any support, both in prayer and financial. Donations
can be made through PayPal on the parish website:
