Summary

• View of the iconostasis (icon screen) in the kyriakon (main church) at the skete (monastic dependency) of Prophet Elias (Elijah). The Kyriakon was built around 1900. The skete belongs to the Pantocrator Monastery a short distance away. It was founded in 1759 by the Ukrainian monk Paisius Velichkovsky. Within the complex are a main church (built 1903) and three chapels. The complex contains an extensive library and two miracle-working icons. One of the miracle-working icons is visible in this photo in the center.
