This work, of exceptional craftsmanship and high aesthetic quality, continues the series of carved wooden furnishings\u2014including the iconostasis, the chanters stands, and the episcopal throne\u2014which were installed in August of the past year, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will adorn the Saint George Cathedral of Stockholm during the sacred and solemn period of Holy Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This venerable work is the fruit of the efforts and pastoral care of the Holy Metropolis for the enhancement of liturgical life and the cultivation of ecclesiastical ethos and tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was crafted by the same woodcarving workshop in the city of Ioannina, Greece, that produced the aforementioned works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that the cost of constructing and acquiring the canopy is significant\u2014amounting to fifteen thousand euros (\u20ac15,000), or 163 375 Swedish kronor\u2014the Holy Metropolis extends a heartfelt appeal to all devout faithful to contribute, according to their means, toward the completion of this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your love and generosity constitute a tangible witness of faith and contribute to the preservation and promotion of the sacred tradition of our Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donations may be deposited into the account of the Holy Metropolis using the methods listed below. The Metropolis expresses its sincere gratitude in advance for your support of its missionary work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May the grace of the Lord, who comes to His voluntary Passion and is Risen from the dead, be with all of us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
