On Sunday, September 9 2018, with the blessing of His Eminence, Archbishop Benjamin, the clergy and faithful of Holy Trinity Cathedral celebrated the blessing of the newly completed iconography now adorning the interior of the cathedral dome. We were honored by the presence of Iconographer Dmitri Shkolnik who painted the icons of Christ the High Priest, His Holy Mother, the Forerunner, and the Bodiless Powers of Heaven. Archpriest Kirill Sokolov, Dean, served the rite of blessing holy icons assisted by Protodeacon Brendan Doss. Archpriest James Jorgenson preached the homily at the Divine Liturgy.
