I had never before visited an Orthodox church. It was really beautiful, both inside and out. It was very different from the cathedrals I've been to. Lots of gold and dark colors.

It is dedicated to the Three Holy Hierarchs, Saints Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom. It has 11... More
