Restoring the Iconostasis — Preserving the Beauty of Our Church
September 14 – October 6, 2026 · Milestone 38 of 39
The iconostasis holds an important place in the Coptic Orthodox Church, bearing the holy icons and marking the entrance to the sanctuary. Although our church has a unique architectural character, the iconostasis brings the familiar beauty of our Coptic tradition into our place of worship.
Its woodwork and panels needed extensive care, and we were blessed to undertake their restoration. Through careful sanding and painting, the worn surfaces were renewed, restoring the beauty of the structure that carries our treasured icons.
We thank God for making this work possible and for everyone who offered time, effort, and support. Their loving care helped preserve an important part of our church for generations to come.
