І am not going to dwell on the question of whether there is such a thing as a "Ukrainian style" in church architecture. This topic by its very nature will always elicit different, even opposing views. І would only like to point out that St. Andrew's in Kiev and St. George's in Lviv - two of the most popular churches in Ukraine, were built in the Rococo style, a style which is completely extraneous to Ukrainian spiritual life. Therefore, 1 do not think it appropriate to restrict architects in giving expression to their creative imagination, prodding them to imitate one of the styles of Ukrainian church architecture of the past. Moreover, today we have other building methods, new materials and different possibilities — and 1 see no reason not to make use of them. But this holds true only for the exterior of the building. The interior planning of the church has to conform to normative rules defined by the liturgical requirements of the Eastern rite. in the Eastern rite, the church is divided into two main sections — the sanctuary and the section for the faithful. These two areas are separated by the iconostas — a wall with icons placed in a certain order; On the back wall, behind the altar, there should be an icon, not a window. The choir is part of the faithful and should, therefore, be located in the rear of the church. The entrance to the church should be opposite the iconostas. This would be a set of general characteristics of the Eastern rite churches - both Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholic. Many of these requirements are not heeded, whether consciously or unconsciously, by architects. Not too long ago 1 was at a service in a well-known Ukrainian church. One entire wall of this church was of glass - 1 could see children playing ball and latecomers hurrying on their way to the service, in his design the architect did not make provision for an iconostas, or for the customary icon behind the altar. The choir, which should be in the back of the church and respond to the priest, has been placed behind the altar, thus, in effect, making the priest the soloist of the choir, it is unfortunate that thisotherwise very original structure lacks most of the distinguishing characteris– tics of an Eastern rite church. in another church, one not as interesting as far as its the artist's The icon of the Madonna and Child, from me arttofe exterior is concerned, there is a stained glass window icon of the Archanfel Michael; from private collection. private collection. behind the altar instead4of the customary icon, in yet THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, i98i No. 46 UNA sponsors weekend meeting of youth leaders by Marta Korduba ed the attitudes and reasons behind the animosity, however subtle they may be, "it was a first." diminishes the negative, ambiguous "A positive, real move forward." feelings 1 may have had."

(Continued from page 7) examples of which 1 know : the person has done much for the church; his graphic work is known throughout America; he is a good caricaturist, thus, hell be all the better at painting icons. Obviously, little of worth can be expected given such an approach.

Then again there are those who would like to decorate churches - the innovators. Rejecting the traditional elements of iconography, they use the symbols of their own imagination which, for the most part, are comprehensible to them alone.

Finally, there are the artists who try to "Ukrainia– nize" the icon, dressing it up in Hutsul costume. For some reason it is the Mother of God who most often falls victim to this practice. it is clear that these artists cannot contribute to the safeguarding of our church traditions and most likely, this is not a consideration for them.

The reason that our icons, on the whole, are not of a very high quality should not be attributed to the icon's traditional character — a view held by some, but rather to the lack of good and experienced icono– graphers. Finally, 1 would like to make an additional comment on the iconostas. Although by and large the iconostas is now to be found in the majority of our churches, in many of them it has come to play only a symbolic roie. The original conception of the iconostas as a "wall" has been reduced to the notion of a "screen" or simply an iron grating of the kind to be found in some Spanish churches. This tendency is partly due to the insistence of the faithful to see the priest at all times and partly to the wish to conform in appearance to neighboring churches of the Latin rite.
