Can you imagine the first Orthodox Church in Vancouver? The Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Sobor stands before you, a testament to the enduring faith of the Russian community. This impressive building, completed in 1954, is the third incarnation of the church. Its predecessors were built in 1929, on 7th Ave and Fir St, and in 1924, housed in a rented house. In 1924, a group of determined Orthodox believers decided to establish a parish in Vancouver. They were a small, humble group, but they shared a deep love for their faith and a strong desire to build a community. The first service was held in a YMCA. They pooled their resources, collected donations, and finally managed to buy a house with a big enough plot to fit their needs. The church was named after the Holy Resurrection Church in Jerusalem, highlighting their connection to the ancient faith. The Holy Resurrection Church, a beacon of hope and spiritual guidance, is one of Canada’s most treasured, iconic buildings.
