Church tours are offered throughout the weekend. Visitors to an Orthodox church are usually impressed by
the rich color, distinctive iconography and beauty of the interior of an Orthodox church. When one enters
into the interior of the Orthodox church it is like stepping into a whole new world of color and light.
The art and design of the church not only create a distinctive atmosphere of worship, but also reflect
and embody many of the fundamental beliefs of Orthodoxy. We invite our guests to come and learn about the
symbolism of our beautiful Byzantine-style sanctuary and to take a closer look at the icons as well as
other liturgical items.
This year we have beautiful new additions to our iconography, and we cannot wait to share these works with you.
The duration of the tours are approximately thirty minutes.
