Blessing of the Iconographer Tools for the Mosaic

Today, at the Church of St. Demetrios in St Marys, following the Divine Liturgy, Fr. Nektarios, Parish Priest of St Demetrios Church, blessed the Iconographer and the tools and first set of smalti tiles which will be used on the Mosaic. Pictured below are the tile cutters, the flesh tone smalti tiles which will be used on the face and hands of the Saint, and they are resting on the fibreglass mesh to which the tiles will be adhered to form the mosaic, which will then be adhered to the wall.
