Mosaic Work at Saint Sophia in Victoria, British Columbia
Work on the series of mosaics on the eastern wall of the altar was recently completed at the church of Saint Sophia in Victoria British Columbia. Work on this series of mosaics has been ongoing over the past several years, and the final piece, the communion of the apostles, has now been installed. This work was first initiated after several members of Saint Sophia, including the rector, Archpriest John, attended the Orsoni mosaic course in Venice about 6 years ago. A variety of mosaic projects in the church have been taken on since, engaging an increasing number of parishioners whose collective hands have laboured greatly for the glory of Christ and the beautification of His church. With God’s help, perhaps, some day this entire church will be splendidly arrayed in this ancient form of church art.
