The Chapel of All Saints, or ‘Crypt Chapel’, was built and designed as a private funerary chapel for our Monastery. It is situated above the crypt, where Father Sophrony and other members of the community are buried. The subjects for the wall paintings were chosen with the themes of death and resurrection in mind, with the emphasis on resurrection, offering hope in the face of death.

About the author
Sister Gabriela
Sister Gabriela joined the Community of Saint John the Baptist in 1983 after studying iconography in Paris on Saint Sophrony’s insistence. She was part of the team which was painting the murals of Saint Silouan’s Chapel and worked closely with the saint. After the mural work, Saint Sophrony continued to teach her the art of icon painting, and she assisted him in some larger works. Since his repose, to the extent that she has been able to understand them, she has tried to further his vision and ideas in various artistic projects.
