Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Church

Reviewed By ArryAwk - Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom

This is the oldest Orthodox parish in North America although the church itself is fourth generation, the previous building having been destroyed by fire in the 1940's. It is small and the interior is a beautiful sight with its traditional Russian Orthodox icons, pictures and colours. The local priest was on hand to explain the history of the church and showed us the wooden reliquary that holds the remains of St Herman - a Russian monk who came to Kodiak Island in 1794 and who is now the patron saint of Alaska for the Russian Orthodox Church. There is a glass case holding his monastic hat and the large iron cross he wore in life. The church is on a hillside overlooking the town of Kodiak - it was a wonderful place to visit.

Well worth a visit. Yes it's a small museum but its engaging exhibits use multimedia as well as interactive activities to tell the history and culture of the Alutiiq on Kodiak, so there is something for everyone in varied group. The gift shop has reasonably priced, authentic jewelry.
