Just to add some icon descriptions. You can see in these photos:

St Joachim, St. Anne and the Theotokos

The flight of the Holy Family

Part of the iconostasis (The Theotokos with Christ and St. Michael on one of the Deacons' Doors)

Pentecost and icons of St. Seraphim of Sarov and St. Sergei of Radonezh

Doubting St. Thomas and icons of St. Herman of Alaska and Sts. Sava and Comis of Ochrid

The Myrrh Bearing Women, The Resurrection, the Crucifixion and The Most Holy Trinity along with Sts. Cyril and Methodius.

There are many more icons to see in this church. It's well worth a visit if you make it to the Phoenix area.

I for one definitely took note of who the Holy Icons are of and very much appreciated them. grin

I can't remember if there are other post-Schism saints (such as St. Herman of Alaska and St. Seraphim or Sarov) who have their icons at St. Thomas. There may be but I don't remember off hand.

I'm wondering if there are other Eastern Catholic parishes with post-Schism saints similarly commemorated?
