In addition to Pulpits and Altar Tables, Orthodox Churches call for several liturgical furnishings that no other Christian denomination does. These are the Icon Screen, Royal Doors, Icon Stands, Bishop’s Throne and Kouvouklion (a symbolic tomb of Christ), and Ceremonial Table.

Examples of each of these can be seen among the work that I did for St. Clement Ohridski.

I created elaborately carved bands and panels that frame the Icons in the Icon Screen. The richly carved and gold leafed Royal Doors open the Icon Screen to the Altar. The carvings on both the Royal Doors and the Bishop’s Throne contain dozens of traditional Christian symbols.
