St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral

Welcome
Christ is Risen

Thy Nativity, O Christ our God, has shone to the world the light of wisdom!
For by it those who worshipped the stars
were taught by a star to adore Thee,
The Sun of righteousness, and to know Thee, the orient from on high.
O Lord, Glory to Thee!

Wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas and may 2026 bring peace, happiness, and good health! 

 Resurrection
