And there would have been a Mosque there if everyday Americans had not put up a sustained effort. The rare happy ending in this kind of thing!!!

Stunning. Some of the comments on the site complained that the architecture it too modern, but I think it is perfect for the site and what it commemorates.
Watch the video to get the full effect.
The blocks on the corners are reminiscent of the original twin towers. Inside, the Saints surrounding Christ are "in the air." While I have never seen such iconography in an Orthodox Church before, I think this is a reminder of how so many victims died that day - in the air.

Orthodox Ping!
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!
