A Church Transformed
The restored dome of Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre; the glory of God enveloping the risen Lord.
The Custos opens the dinner following the inaugural with a prayer.
The artist-engineer team inspect the dome: Ara Normart, left, the creator of the design; Anis Srouji, center, Project Manager; and Marcos Nino, right, Project Engineer, CNEWA-PMP, Jerusalem.
Mr. And Mrs. George Doty, seated with Msgr. Stern at the inaugural service, gaze at the dome.
Greek Orthodox Patriarch Diodoros I, with the Church of Jerusalem around him, begins the inaugural service.
During the course of construction, the custodians – with Metropolitan Timothy representing Patriarch Diodoros (left of center) – often toured the site with Father Madden.
