ST. NIKOLA SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH

Milwaukee held its annual Doors Open Milwaukee event last weekend, and the first venue that I visited was the St. Nikola Serbian Orthodox Church, located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Cudahy.  The modest sized church was, in my opinion, delightful both inside and out.

Here, first, is an exterior shot.

But it was the many murals that covered the interior ceiling that showed the church's emotion.

Here is a mural, presumably a depiction of Christ, over the sanctuary.

The stained glass windows were also interesting, including the wording written in Serbian.

Finally, a couple of details of the exterior, including the front entrance and the steeple.

The Serbian orthodox congregation purchased the church, then vacant, in 1963 and transformed it over the subsequent years to the church that it has now become.
