The History of Religion in Seattle Series -- St. Spiridon Orthodox Cathedral

The Seattle History Field Trips Meetup will begin a series on the history of religion in Seattle. We will visit historical locations and learn about all the religions, native and imported, that have contributed to Seattle's growth over the years. Please send in your ideas for possible tours.

ST. SPIRIDON ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL

Since St. Spiridon held its first service for parishioners on Sept. 18, 1895 it has been the center for the growth of the Christian Orthodox Church in Seattle. St. Spiridon has a fascinating history, some of which reads like it could have come right from the pages of "Doctor Zhivago".

Reverend Yuri Maev, Rector of St. Spiridon is our guide as we visit one of the most beautiful church buildings in Seattle and find out about this wonderful faith community that has been part of the Lake Union community for almost 130 years. Join us.

See you then!

ABOUT THE SEATTLE HISTORY FIELD TRIP MEETUP

We are amateur historians with an interest in Seattle. Newbies to Seattle are most welcome. Once a quarter, or so, this group organizes a field trip to visit sites which are significant in Seattle's history, and to share what we know about them. In the past we have visited the gravesites of important personages and the locations of famous events. This Meetup is for anyone who has an interest in Seattle's history or who would like to learn more about the founding and growth of Seattle and the surrounding cities, towns, native peoples, highways, dams, natural resources, industries, famous events & dignitaries, famous visitors, etc.
