NY Times features reopened St. Nicholas Greek Church at World Trade CenterThe Times noted that it was the only Greek Orthodox house of worship destroyed on September 11 and “after 21 years and $85 million, its glowing new home has opened.”

The New York Times featured the reopened St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine at the World Trade Center in an article on December 24 titled “St. Nicholas (the Church) Has Come to Town.”

The Times noted that it was the only Greek Orthodox house of worship destroyed on September 11 and “after 21 years and $85 million, its glowing new home has opened.”

“Olga Pavlakos grew up going to St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Lower Manhattan,” the Times reported, adding that “she was baptized there. Her parents were married there. She has memories of her father, who worked in restaurants, volunteering there on Sundays, and of celebrating Epiphany every January, when parishioners would walk to the Hudson River, toss a gold cross into the frigid water, and watch divers plunge in to retrieve it.”
