St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral represents Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the dominant religion in Ukraine and typically serves new Ukrainian immigrants who have left Ukraine after the fall of the soviet union. Although Orthodox in faith, the Cathedral is under the UOCUSA which is under the jurisdiction of the Eccumenical Patriarchate and has no affiliation with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Ukraine The church was originally built for a German parish, and sold twice before it was finally bought and converted by the current Ukrainian parish. The parish runs a Saturday school of Ukrainian language for students from preschool to 10th grades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Village,_Chicago 3D model by Denoall |
