Father Radomir Cutilo speaks with a parishioner Thursday before the start of the divine liturgy marking the Feast of the Ascension at St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Milwaukee. Many diners around the corner at Serb Hall probably never knew that the hall's fish fry proceeds went to the parish to help pay for the construction of the cathedral.

Glass mosaics cover virtually every inch of the cathedral walls, ceiling and dome. Italian-born artist Sirio Tonelli designed the mosaics, which use about 2,000 colors and tones.

I'm from an austere branch of the Protestants...but I've got to say those are some
mighty fine mosaics!

Thanks, joan for posting this. Saint Sava's is truly beautiful and I believed already registered as a historic designation, as it deserves to be.

There was actually a Jeopardy question as to who serves more fish out of the drive-in window with either mcDonalds, long john's silver and St. Sava's as the answer, which of course was the correct answer!

W ought to get his butt up there.

First time there was in 1963 at my uncle's wedding.

Mnogaja ljeta! May God Grant Them Many Years!

Many of St. Sava's mosaics were modeled after those in the Church of St. George in Oplenac, near Topola, Serbia, which was built in the 1900s, Veleusic said.

Just beautiful.

I haven't been in St. Sava's in decades, but after looking at those pictures, I can almost smell the incense.

And I so miss those fish fries at Serb Hall.

I can't believe President Bush has never been there. Hope he gets to Serb Hall this campaign.
