I'll bet the Great Entrance was quite the workout!
ReplyDeleteHaha! They look like something Gulliver might have left behind in Lilliput.
ReplyDeleteThey used that chalice for the reunion of the Russian church in 2007 but I hadn't seen the diskos and star before. They're splendid. I can't see a deacon carrying that on his own.
I don't know - that deacon in the photos looks like a man who can handle such a task.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the line to get to that chalice was rather long.
In a pinch, that chalice could double as a baptismal font!
ReplyDeleteNo effete priests serving there, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteBigger, in Eastern Orthodoxy, is obviously better!
