Topic: Church Photos

[AMM]

I've put together a couple of sets I thought might be of interest with some pictures I've taken or gathered and put on my flickr page.

The first is of my own parish and the set is here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24557771@N02/sets/72157625076687335/

The second are public domain images I've found on the Library of Congress and those are here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24557771@N02/sets/72157625061582483/

I would also be interested to see photos anyone has posted of their parishes.

Holy Ghost Phoenixville? My church in Pottstown has some people from there.

Your church is beautiful AMM! I love to look at church architecture. Thanks for posting these.

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.

[LizaSymonenko]

A poor parish I know.

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

Really! What jurisdiction are you? I haven't ever seen an Orthodox Bishop dress akin to a Roman Catholic, much less beardless. This is interesting.

I don't have any photos, but I do have two videos:

I spelled Parish and Orthros wrong in this video:

Yeah, it's in Romania, a very good friend of mine is the priest there.

It happened often enough among the Greek-Catholics and Orthodox of the Habsburg/Dualist monarchy.
I'll look for some pictures.

That's also true. But I'm talking about a parish made up of mostly old or jobless people, many of them Gypsies.

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.

[augustin717]

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.

Here is another one:Kyriou Kyr Andrei Saguna, metropolitan of Transylvania (1864-1873), sporting  a quite  peculiar apparel.

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):

I took some more pictures of the altar today that are better resolution.  The last one was with my blackberry.  The updated set is here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24557771@N02/sets/72157625076687335/

For the terminally bored today, I also have a set with some other Orthodox images in it - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24557771@N02/sets/72157625095990823/

Very nice little church.  Is the iconostasis gilded wood or is it actually metallic?

[Fr. George]

This thread has successfully reminded me that I need to upload pics of our parish to our parish's website.  Thank you!

I believe it's brass.

I'll post more when I get home.

[Tikhon.of.Colorado]

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.

By the way, very beautiful church.

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.

I like this photo of a Russian church.  Six chalices on the Holy Table are an encouraging sight.

Very nice tabernacle in that picture.

Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox, in Butte, MT. (How does a town called "Butte" get such a lovely church?)

All of these are very beautiful. It just boggles my mind, the work that must have gone into them.
