Basilian Fathers Museum Permanent Exhibits - Service of the Vineyard of the Lord

The exhibit Service in the Vineyard of the Lord celebrates the lives of the monks, priests, bishops, nuns and lay people who served the Lord by serving the Ukrainian people in Canada. In telling the stories of these dedicated individuals, the exhibit outlines the history of the Basilian order and traces the development of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada from 1902 to the present time.

Four important eras of church history are presented. Each is symbolized in the murals which provide a backdrop. The murals, painted by Jorgos Zarkadas of Edmonton, depict four churches which were major landmarks in Ukrainian church history.

The exhibit showcases pieces from the Basilian Fathers Museum collection, which includes liturgical books dating as far back as the 15th century; original, 18th- and 19th- century icons painted on wood panels; and religious artifacts such as chalices, vestments and candle holders.
(Opened in 2003.)
