Saint Nicholas in Ground Zero opened today the doors for the anniversary of the 3oth year that Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has been in this role, with Archbishop of America, Elpidophoros doing the Divine Liturgy.
His Holiness Bartholomew stated: “This Sacred Ground of the American experience is where the Orthodox Christian Faith will take the lead in manifesting to the world that good is mightier than evil, that there is life beyond death, and that love will always triumph over hatred…. “Nicholas” means "Victory of the People." The cowardly attack that wrought so much death in this place does not have the final word….
“May this resurrected Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine, eternally shine the light of Christ throughout this City of New York and around the world, as a beacon of Faith, of Hope, of Love.”
