The most recent addition to Saint Mary's of Boian is this exceptional wood carving.
Hand-carved in Romania, it stands near the top of the hill just before entering the grounds of Saint Mary's.
The carving is dedicated to all the Romanian pioneers who came from Boian, Bucovina so long ago to make a hew home in Alberta. God bless them all.
A special "thank you" to Father Panciuk for the memorable visit.
Hope you enjoyed the tour of Saint Mary's.

That cross is pretty amazing and even more so that it was done in Romania and shipped over.
ReplyDeleteThanks MA. The addition of the newly carved cross from the motherland is somewhat of a homecoming for the congregation.
