New $9 million Ukrainian Museum in New York is blessed

by Helen Smindak
Special to The Ukrainian Weekly

NEW YORK - The new $9 million Ukrainian museum building that will house and exhibit a rich trove of Ukrainian artifacts received its official blessing on Sunday, February 6. In an exciting prelude to the museum's inaugural opening on April 3, visitors were welcomed inside the three-story brick and glass structure for the first time since construction was completed last year.

There was elation in the air as close to 500 people stood in the street outside the building at 222 E. Sixth St., listening intently as prelates of the Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches performed blessing rituals near the entrance. Police cars at two positions blocked off motor traffic.

Bishop Basil Losten of the Stamford Eparchy of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, and Archbishop Antony of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the U.S.A., concelebrated the blessing with solemn rites and prayers, sprinkling holy water on the edifice.

A small bit of good news.
