Handbeaded Aers - Made by Matushka Anna Williams

Handmade Aers

These Aers were made by Matshka Anna Wiliams for the ordination of Fr. Michal Williams in about 1972.  They are slightly damaged, but we hope to repair them so that they can be preserved for future generations.

Fr. Michael is the only Tlingit ever ordained as an Orthodox Priest.  He fell alseep in the Lord in 1994.
