Ukrainian Village - Churches

Churches

There are a number of Churches within Ukrainian Village, with three Ukrainian churches located on one street, most being within a block of each other. St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral was the first of the two Ukrainian Greek catholic churches in the village with Sts. Volodymyr and Olha Ukrainian Catholic Church forming in the 70's after St.Nicholas' parish split in disagreement. St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral represents Eastern European Ukrainian Orthodox Church and typically serves the 4th wave of Ukrainian immigrants who have left Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union. Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Cathedral, was the first Eastern European Russian Orthodox church in what was then called the "Slavic Village" and was commissioned by St. John Kochurov and designed by famed architect Louis Sullivan.

Famous quotes containing the word churches:

    He asked if I would sell my Christmas trees;
    My woods the young fir balsams like a place
    Where houses all are churches and have spires.
    I hadn’t thought of them as Christmas trees.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
