| Saint Theodosius (1912) |
|
733 Starkweather Avenue. Frederick C. Baird, architect. Following a hearty Polish meal at Sokolowski's we visited this beautiful cathedral. The Tremont neighborhood is crowded with wonderful ethnic churches, but St. Theodosius is a standout. It is the finest example of traditional orthodox architecture in the nation. The 13 domes represent Christ and the 12 apostles. The interior of the church is stunning, the walls entirely covered with colorful religious icons. Movie buffs may recognize the interior, featured in the wedding scenes of the 1978 film, The Deer Hunter. (More trivia: it won the Academy Award for Best Picture.)

The immensely charming Archpriest John Zdinak took time from his busy day to open the cathedral for our private viewing. He explained the decorative elements of the church, and answered many questions regarding the Orthodox faith. Thank you Archpriest Zdinak for a visual and intellectual treat!
