I can't believe anyone else is up this late!  Where do you get the Cyrillic fonts? Is the 'r' trilled or 'ruh' like in English? Christ is born! Glorify Him!

Yeah, I, believe it or not, went to Midnight Mass with my brothers. Probably the last time we will for a long time, so I went. Now I just plain can't sleep. And I have to be up at 8 to leave by 8:45. Liturgy starts at 10. I want to be early to claim a chair. I know the temple will be packed and with my current medical condition I can't always stand for that long.

I would like to give a "shout out" to our visiting cantor that sang like a pro at Christmas Day Divine Liturgy at Dormition parish in Windber,
Michael Oleska. Michael and his family are members of Holy Trinity Byzantine Catholic Church in Conemaugh, PA. I hope that the Ruthenian Metropolia would have a few more "up and coming" cantors-in-training like Michael! He even sang many parts of the liturgy in Church Slavonic! It was a treat to have a beautiful sung liturgy in a parish that doesn't have many young people. Thank you Michael, you made my day! Djakuku krasna!
Christos Razhdajet'sja! Slavite Jeho!

Ung,
Which ByzCath church is in Cambria City? Is it the one on Power or the one in Conemaugh? I get confused. I have seen the one in Cambria City, haven't been inside, just church counting churches!(what 4 Roman Catholic Churches three blocks from each other, a Serbian Orthodox Church, A Byzantine Catholic Church and a Protestant Church all in 4 small blocks).

Piroh,
The mother Rusyn-Greek Catholic Church in the Cambria-Somerset County area, Prokov (Protection of the Mother of God) Byzantine Catholic Church is the church on Power St, Cambria City section of Johnstown. Holy Trinity Byzantine Catholic Church is the church in Conemaugh, Pa, just outside of Johnstown.

Ung,
The Cambria City ByzCath temple must be BEAUTIFUL inside, if I were to judge a book by its cover. The temple from the outside is stunning (at least in my eyes).

Piroh,
Yes and no. It was constructed as their third temple starting in 1920 and was completed in (I think)in 1924. It probably was one of the largest parishes in the newly-created Pittsburgh Exarchate in 1924 when the newly-appointed Exarch, Bishop Basil Takach arrived in America. He even contemplated using Prokov parish and Johnstown as the seat for the Ruthenian Exarchate. It truly was designed to be a miniature "Hagia Sophia", complete with a Helenic-style one tier Ikonostas. The Ikonostas was intact only until 1930, when for what ever reason, it was torn out and replaced with a Latinized marble Baldochino that came from Hungary. There is a pic of it in an old GCU Kalendar from the 1920's that shows the Greek-style interior. I don't currently have that scan on my new computer, but I did send it to our member Djs (his family parish). Send Djs a PM and I'm sure he wouldn't mind e-mailing the pic to you.
x.p.! c.e.!

Just a one comment. While no icon screen should ever be removed, a baldachino is not a Latinization. Hagia Sophia had one made of silver. The manuscripts and commentaries refer to it as a ciboriom but in all respects it was identical to a baldachino.

"Ciborium" is in fact the correct word for that piece of altar furnishing - and no, the idea is not a Latinization (which is not to say the the manner in which that idea is sometimes realized is not a Latinization, and a vulgar one at that).
The Icon-screen that was once in the church in question in Johnstown was sold to a Ukrainian parish somewhere, during the hey-day of getting rid of icon-screens.
