LANCASTER — Theophany Works, an Orthodox iconography studio in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, recently welcomed a large turnout of visitors for its first-ever in-studio sale, offering an afternoon of fellowship inside the company’s historic farmhouse workspace.
Attendees enjoyed Lenten refreshments while browsing a wide range of devotional items, including holy icons, pure beeswax candles, Mount Athos incense, brassware, blessing crosses, apparel, Nativity ornaments, greeting cards, and blankets.
Theophany Works expressed gratitude for the strong support, noting, “We are praying all the faithful would be greatly blessed during this Nativity fast and in the celebration and Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s Holy Incarnation!”
The studio — founded in 2022 under the patronage of St. John the Baptist — invited those unable to attend to explore its full product line online and said it hopes to welcome even more visitors at future events.
Previously, UOJ reported that an iconography camp was held at the Serbian Orthodox Church's Shadeland Monastery.
