Description
This is the newly renovated (2018) interior of St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church, located in upper Manhattan a few blocks east of the George Washington Bridge. Much of the traditional iconography had been in need of cleaning and some also in need of restoration.
St Spyridon church was incorporated in Washington Heights in 1931 and for several years met in various temporary spaces including a hall over a theater on St Nicholas Avenue at 185th Street and in a room over a garage on 183rd Street. Eventually the parish rented and then bought what had been a Baptist Church. The current building (depicted) was officially opened in September 1952. Greek iconographer George Gliatas was commissioned to do the interior frescoes.
