A couple of weeks ago I posted a exterior photo of the Ukrainian church in Silver Spring: here are a couple of interior pictures, thanks to eje...
showing the Holy Table and the parish's magnificent tabernacle. (Click through to see the photos in a larger format.)
   
Also, here's a photograph from CL co-founder Steve Schultz, showing the tabernacle and baldachino at the Mary Immaculate Center in Northampton, PA, where he is living and studying this year. Thanks, Steve!

Nice. But - maybe I'm missing something - but where's the iconostasis? Also, I can't tell - where is the tabernacle in relation to the Holy Table? (Usually in a Byzantine church, it'd be on the Holy Table.)

It's a bit hard to tell at first glance that the Tabernacle is indeed on the Holy Table; the Holy Table's color doesn't look the same in the two photos because of the different lighting used, but it's the one same altar.

There will be an iconostasis some day. For now, this is a fairly new parish that doesn't have the full complement of interior furnishings.

They make do with a pair of standing icons in front of the Holy Table, on either side. This portable substitute for the iconostasis is often used in mission situations.
