Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox
40 Andrew Jarvis Drive
The Church itself has a traditional Byzantine architectural
style, with the center dome and the footprint in the shape
of a cross. The church structure is modeled after many
island churches typical in Greece. Between the altar and the
upper Solea is a wall adorned with icons with a central
doorway called "Royal Doors." This wall is referred to as
the iconostasis, and is characteristic of all Orthodox
churches.
Previous iconography was painted on the church iconostasis
and on the walls over and behind the altar. As is found in
all Greek Orthodox Churches, the icon immediately right of
the doors is Christ and immediately left, Mary and the
Christ Child. Next on the right is St. John the Baptist, and
on the left, the Church patron Saint, in this case, St.
Nicholas. On either side of these Saints are icon doors with
Archangels Gabriel and Michael.
