Українська греко-православна церква святої Марії


Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Mary.


Blues crosses in glass and a turquoise archway...the handmade wrought iron fence really "sets the scene."


Not sure if the church is still in regular use...


...but it's well maintained.  I'm sure there is an occasional wedding, funeral or baptism performed here.


This triptych of windows under the alcove would be just above the altar.  Imagine the morning light streaming through the blue coloured glass.    


Beside the church is a gray marble sign in both Ukrainian and English.  A relatively new building...1956 wasn't all that long ago.


Looking up at the beautifully designed dome and cupolas.

    1. Thanks MA. Sometimes all it takes is a "little touch" to bring it to life.
