In tribute to and memory of its sister parish, St Nicholas in Barberton hosts a page of photos taken that day at its Facebook site.

JEK Member Registered: 02/18/12 Posts: 277 Loc: USA	Thank you Neil and Dr. Henry P, thats why our site is trying to preserve all this history via photos and historical documentation. It is the same sadly for Holy Ghost Byzantine Catholic Church in Cleveland, Ohio, a magnificient edifice but, they just could not maintain it any longer, the final liturgy was held on November 1, 2009 and the video of this http://youtu.be/htAXjNE0APo is so sad and heartbreaking to watch.

Irish Melkite Global Moderator Member Registered: 10/27/03 Posts: 9548 Loc: Massachusetts	Jim, Do you know where the baptismal font was relocated? The chandelier, as I recollect, is considered particularly exquisite. Am I right on that? Many years, Neil _________________________ "One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared.

JEK Member Registered: 02/18/12 Posts: 277 Loc: USA	Neil, You are very correct about the chandelier, if you go to our site http://www.tccweb.org/ourchurches.htm#Saint_Gregory_the_Theologian_Byzantine_Catholic_Church you can see a portion of it (third photo down), I will have to search our files for the original shot which is much larger (we scanned it down for the article), it is high quality artwork and very beautiful.
