$4.4 million Greek Orthodox Church

[Aristokles]

I am assuming since it is a tradtional Byzantine church that it does not have pews, or at least I would hope so.

Lots of luck! It probably does have pews, despite drawings showing chairs. But it is so much like a mini- Saint Sophia that I must go see it.

As my sister says of the pews in my old home parish -"If you keep all the fasts, you'll be skinny enough to do full prostrations WITH pews".

yup, it's got pews Don't they realize they could fit alot more people in fit they just got rid of pews under the dome? It also has speakers which I personally don't like seeing either.

Where is the iconostas? :shock:

[Daniel]

Hey Nic,
I think that one is just temporary. In this rendering there is one at least planed.

Oh good! I prefer a higher iconostasis and royal doors, but it looks like a beautiful interior in the rendering to match the exterior.

The only thing I don't like about the Icon screen is the arch over the royal doors and the curtain. They look a little big, at least in the drawings

That will be beautiful! I was getting a little nervous that it was part of their plan to leave it so plain inside.

And on a side note, why are speakers in a church ever necessary?
