Mosaic by Sirio Tonelli, a photo from Ontario, Centre

Photographer's Note

This mosaic is in the tympanum of the doors of the Saint George's Greek Orthodox Church in Toronto, ON, Canada. Installed there in the 1980s and made by the famous Italian/American mosaic artist Sirio Tonelli (1922 -2019). The Church is a historical landmark in Ontario. it was built in 1897 and was a synagogue until 1937, then the Toronto's Greek community bought it and converted it into a Byzantine church. I put a picture of the doors of the church into the Workshop.
