Reverent and stunningly beautiful orthodox cathedral with fantastic traditional iconography!
The church has a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere, it's a comforting place to attend services, light candles, and connect with Jesus, Mary, and the Saints through the sacred icons. However, as someone born and raised in Greece, I can’t help but feel saddened that the spirit of filotimo, the deep-rooted Greek values of hospitality, kindness, and respect, sometimes feels overlooked here, perhaps influenced by the fast pace of NYC. It’s something I hold dear, and I truly hope it continues to shine through in our community.
One of Astoria’s hidden gems. This neighborhood Orthodox Church has some beautiful art inside. Make sure you check it out if you are around.
We drove from Philadelphia to celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter.Anastasie. Beautiful community wonderful service. Great experience..
Had a lovely service here. The cathedral looks lovely, the electric organ does work after some technical service, it can get a little warm in the summer, but it’s a lovely space.and there is a handicapped ramp entrance that lets tourists in just to the left of the altar.
