The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese released a video detailing the acclaimed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava’s vision for his design of the reconstruction of St. Nicholas, the Greek Orthodox Church that was destroyed when the Twin Towers collapsed on the tiny church during the September 11th terrorist attacks.
The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America is in the midst of a $40 million fundraising campaign to build the shrine, which is in the heart of the “Ground Zero” area that includes the 9/11 Memorial and the September 11th Museum.
The ground blessing is scheduled to take place on October 18th with faithful, city officials and other dignitaries from throughout the nation, including all Metropolitans of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
