Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church

I came across the Greek Orthodox church on 30 Race street downtown. I've never thought of looking in to the denomination but I became curious after seeing it. They weren't within their visiting hours so I'll post a link for more pictures.

It was completed in 1953, modeled after a Byzantine church

The Charleston Greek Festival take place on the grounds every year.

Some small facts about the religion


  • Married men are allowed in to priesthood
  • Follower believe in the Holy Trinity
  • Rejects the existence of Purgatory 
  • Communion is administered in to the mouth with a spoon from a chalice

From what I've seen online the building is beautiful from the inside. I would love to attend, I wonder if they actually do sermons in Greek.
