The large tower dome is built and in the process of being painted; As soon as the interior painting is done it will be installed.

The interior plaster work will also be finished soon, and we will begin preparing     the  wall for the iconography.

Before Nativity, by God’s grace, we hope to start the work on the interior furnishings.

It symbolizes the ladder seen by Jacob in his dream, reminding the user of the spiritual ladder of ascent into heaven. The invocation of the name of Jesus is a powerful tool and a means of achieving a spiritual union with God. The prayer rope is used to count the number of times the prayer is said. It is also used as a reminder to pray without ceasing. The words of the Jesus Prayer are: “Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner”.Prayer ropes made out of smooth cord are available in black, brown, dark blue, red purple and gold.

Price: $21.00
