1. St Matrona's Chapel at the Transfiguration of Christ Greek Orthodox
Church, Corona, NY
One year following the establishment of the Chapel of St. Nectarios, in 1998, the
Philoptochos Ladies Society of Transfiguration gave a donation of five thousand dollars
for the establishment of the second community chapel, named after St. Matrona of
Chios.
St. Matrona was chosen as patron of the chapel because a large icon depicting her
stood in front of the chapel. Built-in veneration-stands were placed with eight icons
that were worked on by the iconographer , Mr. Konstantinos Yiousis. These icons are:
Christ blessig, Panagia Vrefokratousa (the Theotokos holding the baby Jesus), St. John
the Forerunner, St. Nicholas, St. Onoufr ios, St. Neilos, and the Theotokos enthroned, in
a position of prayer, receiving the offering of Constantinople by St. Constantine, and
the Church of the Holy Wisdom (St. Sophia) by Justinian. Standing grandly in the
center of the chapel is a baldachin with a large icon of St. Gerasimos of Cephalonia, St.
Markella of Chios, St. Matrona of Chios, and St. Artemios the Great Martyr, who
celebrate their feast together on October 20th. Shown above the saints, is Christ
blessing in His transfigured state, and to the left and right of Who stand His disciples.
Amidst the four saints depicted and the transfigured Lord hover two angels, holding a
scroll with the inscription: “the God-bearing Saints Gerasimos of Cephalonia, Markella
of Chios, Matrona of Chios, and Artemios the Great Martyr offer their Holy Shrine to
the Transfigured Lord.”
Transfiguration of Christ Greek Orthodox Church is a parish of the Eastern Orthodox
Christian Faith located in Corona, NY (in the center of Queens). We are a member of
the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, under the spiritual leadership of His
Eminence, Archbishop Demetrios of America.
