This upcoming Sunday, June 26, 2011, at 12:15 PM, our parish will be hosting a lecture entitled “The Design of the Orthodox Temple and Its Adornment With Holy Icons” delivered by Yani Pavlides, RA, AIA.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Members of our parish, and neighboring parishes, are particularly encouraged to come and listen to the lecture, which promises to be very instructive in this generally under-explored area of our Faith.
