Cupula painting

PaintingBlue

In July the Cupolas of St. Mary's Orthodox Church were painted and gold leafed. Cupolas are a beautiful and distictive feature of most Orthodox parishes throught the world. The Cupola has deep meaning and significance. There are seven cupolas on our parish- seven being the number of perfection. The cupolas are sometimes refered to as "onion" domes because of there shape, but this is really not the shape they represent. They are actually depicting the shape of a woman's womb, where a child grows and matures before entering the world. This is important because they specifically represent the womb of the Theotokos the birthgiver and Mother of The Lord Jesus Christ. The entrance of the God of the Universe into the world was as an infant child. The most amazing thing to contemplate is that this God and Creator of all that exists became small enough to live in the womb of the Holy Virgin!  Sometimes you will see these cupolas with stars on them. This echos this idea that the womb of the Virgin was 'made more spacious than the heavens' order to contain the Lord of all. Enjoy the slideshow.

Youth Campout

Youth Camp out 2008 - 07/07/08

St. Mary's youth traveled to Mauch Lake State Park to camp. The group of 9 campers had a great time swimming, biking, hiking, playing ultimate frisbee and eating great camp food!!
They also spent time studing the scriptures and discussing important issues of life. The number one priority for all of us is to Love God with all the strength we can. The youth also discussed the importance of respecting and loving their parents. The final session was devoted to St. Tatiana who prayed to God for His guidance in making His will their only goal in life.
