Many people especially of today are unaware that most of Holy Trinity's Icons inside the church were painted by Fr. Zaryk. (pastor 1968-1974)
During the six years that Fr. Zaryk pastored at Holy Trinity, Fr. Zaryk poured his artistic talent into the beautiful church on Normile Street. Not only did Fr. Zaryk design the two exterior domes, but his spirit and artistic style 'lives on' inside the church through his beautifully painted Icons!
Fr. Zaryk painted these Icons in his spare time in the attic of Holy Trinity's rectory which was at that time located next door to the church.
Pictured above is one of the last known Icons to exist that Fr. Zaryk painted. There is a "twin" to this Icon, an almost identical painting inside Holy Trinity. The painting is of Jesus in the manger. At Holy Trinity, it is on the right front wall facing the congregation. The Icon pictured above is safely kept in one of Fr. Zaryk's children's home and brought out during Christmastime. Click on the above image to enlarge.
