Choir loft

Here is another early shot of the church from 1967 showing the choir loft that was on the left as you faced the altar area. Celebrating the liturgy is Father John Kozack (more on him in a future post.) The choir were a group visiting from St. Vladimir's Seminary.

If you click on the image to see it larger you will note there are now two familiar looking icons on the wall. Those two icons, of the Theotokos and Christ, are on stands now flanking the steps up to the "royal doors" of the iconostasis. The icons were gifts to the parish from Sts. Peter and Paul church in Syracuse.
