Святої Трійці



This is Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.  I was on a week-long trip through central Saskatchewan and this was my one-and-only stop in a city of any size.  I really wanted to see Holy Trinity for myself and believe the detour into the city was worth the reward. 


A small free-standing bell tower can be seen behind the church on the left. 


A spectacular handcrafted mosaic tile panel depicting the Holy Trinity above the front doors.  Mosaic panels are rare in this day and age so it was an unexpected pleasure.  The panel celebrates the first one hundred years of the congregation. 


The glass front doors allowed a view of the interior... 


...and the iconostasis is both majestic and grand in its execution.

The stone and carved wooden sign beside the church. 


This angle gives a better idea of the size of the church building as well as a better view of the bell tower.


Some history about the bells. 


A side view of the church... 


...and my favourite, the domes.
