  • The only church that was destroyed in 9/11 is finally reopening, as a national shrine. St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church served the faithful in lower Manhattan for almost 90 years. It was destroyed by falling debris on that terrible day. The new shrine overlooks the World Trade Center memorial plaza. Michael Psaros of the Friends of St. Nicholas said, "September 10th, when we light the church from within, represents the triumph of light over darkness."

      its not a temple for high dwellers...its a place where christians can worship. The church is essential to christianity......it is the rock.

    This reminds me of that whole "Ground Zero Mosque" thing that people were upset about a few years after the towers fell. I'm curious if kids now learn in school about how much people started to hate Muslims after the attacks.

    This Greek Orthodox priest looks like an Episcopalian priest.
