{Our Time in PEI} ~ St. Peter and Paul Orthodox Church

Mr. Husband and I,

while we were in PEI,

had the pleasure of being at the one

Orthodox church on the Island:

St. Peter and Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church.

It is a lovely church and I can tell how much

personal effort, time and attention the

beautifying of this Orthodox Temple has took

and is continuing to take. 

The iconostasis is really beautiful;

my pictures do not do it justice.

and the blue....very beautiful... the liturgical colour 

for the Mother of God... it was so fitting that

we were there during the (new calendar) Dormition Fast

and went to their paraklesis service as well

as liturgy on Sunday.

Icons truly enliven a space and it was wonderful to

see this church adorned with so many!

The Mother of God.

St. Stephen the first martyr.

Christ.

Saints Peter and Paul.

St. Elizabeth the New Martyr,

this is the second icon I've seen with St. Elizabeth

in traditional black monastic clothes;

the other one being in my church in Ottawa...

If you are ever visiting PEI,

I do encourage you to go to this lovely church!

I found myself and Mr. Husband warmly welcomed

and it is a lovely place to pray!
