Holy Trinity Cathedral, like most Orthodox Churches, is filled with icons. An icon is an image of Christ, His Mother, a Saint, or an event in the life of the Church in the history of salvation. Icons may be executed in mosaic, on wood panel, or in large flat scenes called fresco. Holy Trinity Cathedral also possesses beautiful images wrought in stained glass. An icon is not merely decoration or a religious painting, but a holy presence, teaching the truths of the Orthodox faith, helping guide and focus the attention of the faithful.
People gather in the temple and stand with reverent and eager expectancy.
The vestments of the clergy and servers as well as the candles and the incense all speak of the Kingdom to our senses of sight and smell. Orthodox worship involves the whole person with all his senses, not just the mind. From this festal atmosphere of fragrance and color comes the singing of the choir leading the congregation in worship. Some of the most beautiful and powerful music ever written is sung right here in our little church. Since our faith is rooted and grounded in Holy Tradition, our worship services don't get sidetracked in the fads and fancies of the day.
