The work in the Tafoos project has resumed after a short break. The dome was brought to the monastery in two pieces and was fixed on top of the tafoos building. A black membrane was then stuck on the wood to protect the wood from rain until the copper sheets are placed on top.

The Dome is being placed on top of the building








Work on the Tafoos is on the way. The concrete slap is poured and
the brick layers have finshed laying bricks.

By the grace of God, the Monastery received the approval from the council for building a Tafoos (A Burial Place) for the monks. The Tafoos consists of a building with 24 Crypts as shown in the diagrams.
