The historic building, though Orthodox, was originally built by the Episcopalians and it retained much of its original high church Protestant flavor including the neo-gothic design with grand stained glass windows and elegant pews. Also lost are countless icons and holy relics.

Serbian church in NYC, Macedonian Orthodox church outside of Sydney, Greek Orthodox church in Melbourne, another building at the Vaalam Monastery in Russia all burned on Easter Sunday. Lord, have mercy!

Isaiah 66 New International Version (NIV)
66 This is what the Lord says:
Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
2
Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?
declares the Lord.
These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word.

All the more reason to build an even more beautiful church. This time they can get the design right too.

“Lord have mercy!”
If we deserve it? Pray for forgiveness/grace instead, it might be a better idea?
