St. George the Great Martyr Church
St. George Island


Return to Seal Islands Historic District National Historic Landmark

National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form text:

Built in 1936. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Significant objects within the Church include articles dating to the previous nineteenth century Church: a chandelier, chalice and crosses, 1845; five bells, 1875: a redwood cross fashioned from wood from the old church by Mr. Andronik P. Kashevarof of St. George. Icons with historical interest include “Saint Petroluman” [sic] from the old church and “Virgin Mary” and “Our Lord Jesus Christ” worked by Father Theodosius. Handworked altar cloths made by the women of Saint George date back fifty years. This is only a representative sample of the treasures in this Church. The building is well cared for on a routine basis but in need of structural repairs. (Faulkner 1986)
