Icon Restoration Project - 10/26/12

Icon painter and restorer, Ms. Ekaterina Piskareva, has been hired by the Rector and the Parish Council to restore the original half-a-century old icon murals of the Church. The work began in September of 2012.

Ms. Ekaterina Piskareva began with the western wall Icon, depicting The Last Judgement. The October 2012 photos in slide show, show the restoration of the icons depicting the major Old Testament events. 

As of today, half of the Nave of the Church has been completed. Scaffolding has been moved to the front part of the Nave and modified so as to give access to the New Testament Mural Icons.  Photos will be taken shortly to record the progress of the Project by the talented restorer.
