Manse – Chapel – Altar 2025 -2026
Our apartment is called a Manse, like the song “Dem Bones” by Sharon, Lois & Bram, or “L’arbre est dans ses feuilles Chanson de Zachary Richard ‧ (1980).
- The Chalice is in the Tabernacle
- The Tabernacle is on the Alt
- The Altar in the Chapel
- The Chapel is in the Manse






The New Altar at the Manse’s Chapel
Planning a wall in our small apartment wasn’t easy. Here are pictures of each step, plus the upcoming frames that will arrive from Greece on August 1.
In 2024, I decided it was time to redo our Altar. Although praying at the Shrine is beneficial, the Manse needed more space, and the Altar was almost gone to accommodate Bishop Marie’s wheelchair. However, since September 17, 2024, she has been permanently in bed.


In February 2026, the Aquarium moved to another room, and in its place is the Vestry. The Shrine is moved to the other side of the Altar.


This is the wall of 2024-2025

This wall replaced the one above at the beginning of 2026
