The Archdiocesan Chapel is now open for worship once again, following completion of the first phase of its new icons in the Holy Altar.
The gifted and diligent team of iconographers has adorned the dome with the icon of Christ the All-Powerful (Χριστὸς Παντοκράτωρ) and, beneath it, the icon of the Most Holy Mother of God entitled “She who is wider than the heavens” (Η Πλατυτέρα Των Ουρανών) stands above those of the Holy Hierarchs. The icon of Christ entitled “Extreme Humility,” also known as Christ the Bridegroom, now stands above the Table of Oblation (Προσκομιδή) on the left of the Holy Table, with the Trinitarian icon of the Hospitality of Abraham on the right.
The first celebration of the Divine Liturgy following completion of the icons will be served on Tuesday, 17th December, beginning with Matins at 7am.
His Eminence Archbishop Nikitas of Thyateira and Great Britain expresses his deep gratitude to all who continue to support the work and ministries of the Archdiocese.
The iconography in the Chapel will be fully completed in June.
