Well, we still have kneelers and use them too! This link http://www.flickr.com/photos/acrod/3614843456/ is a picture of the Metropolitan who founded our diocese in the 30's. Just to give some background. augustin717, where is that parish? Is it in Romania? I like the Ripidia. |

....depends on the definition of "poor". It seems like a very beautiful parish and "rich" in the things that are truly important! |

I haven't ever seen an Orthodox Bishop dress akin to a Roman Catholic, much less beardless. This is interesting. It happened often enough among the Greek-Catholics and Orthodox of the Habsburg/Dualist monarchy. I'll look for some pictures. |

Carpatho-Russian, which is a misnomer because the founders were Rusyns. The diocese was Greek Catholic until the 30's. Here is a parish of the diocese with a nice picture of the sanctuary http://www.saintmichaels.info/augustin717, again an interesting picture! What is the Romanian word for what I would call the khorugv/banner with the picture of the Theotokos. I have not seen another of that style. |

What is the Romanian word for what I would call the khorugv/banner with the picture of the Theotokos. It differs from region to region: inside the Carpathian arch is mostly "prapor(e)/prapur(e)", outside of the Carpathian arch is "steag" ("flag"). I have not seen another of that style. That's just because this one is a somehow naive, home-made one. |

I'll look for some pictures. Here is another one: Kyriou Kyr Andrei Saguna, metropolitan of Transylvania (1864-1873), sporting a quite peculiar apparel. http://oradereligie.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/andrei-saguna.png |

My parish is St. George Greek Orthodox Church, New Port Richey, Florida.   The icons from the interior of the dome: St. Matthew  St. Mark  St. Luke  St. John  Christ Pantokrator  I believe I took this at the end of the liturgy:  If you sit facing the front, this would be an interior view of the left-side windows.  The 'Platytera ton Ouranon' (which I used for my avatar):  |

here are more of my parish:  (a bit old, but a great view)  (a truly blessed moment, just after my godmother's baptism)  sorry for the vanity, but this is of me receiving absolution. it was as moment I'll never forget, and it also has a great wider view of our beautiful temple. I also want to point out that our parish was received from Byzantine Catholicism into Orthodoxy by my patron Saint, Tikhon of Moscow. |

omg, I remember that temple! I remember passing it years ago (long before I became a catechumen) when I would get off 980 to go to my office in Oakland. I knew it was one of "those" Orthodox churches because of the Greek lettering above the columns. I always wanted to stop and peer inside, but, alas, I never did. It was very impressive. |
