Stockholm’s Cathedral Interior Renovation Completion
12.12.2020. Two numbers repeated. December 12, 2020. A landmark day for the Greek Orthodox Community in Scandinavia, with the completion of the renovation of the St. George Cathedral in Stockholm; 130 years after the construction of the church in the heart of the Swedish capital, in 1890.
A day of praise and thanksgiving to the Trinitarian God and to the patron saint of the Cathedral, the Great Martyr George the Trophy Bearer.
Last year, on the feast day of St. Catherine, the external renovation of the church was completed.
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the deadly virus that has killed many of our fellow human beings around the world, the historic Eparchy of the Ecumenical Throne in Scandinavia is praying for the victims of the pandemic and all those affected by this new sickness of our times.
We were able to stand many times at the highest point of the Cathedral, at a height of about 15 meters, and to touch the ceiling of the church.
The scaffolding is gone and we will celebrate Christmas in the newly renovated church.
I express my gratitude to St. George, whose intercessions and guidance, enabled our local Church to complete this historic task. I also thank all those who contributed to the completion of this sacred endeavor, in every possible way; whether they worked for the renovation, or they supported this project financially, morally and prayerfully. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
+ Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden
