Nestled in the heart of Casablanca, the Greek Orthodox Church stands as a testament to a vibrant history. The Greek Orthodox Church, also known as the Church of the Annunciation, was constructed between 1929 and 1934. Interestingly, although built during the patriarchate of Meletius Mataxakis, the Greek Orthodox Church wasn’t inaugurated until March 24th, 2015, under Patriarch Theodore II. This inauguration was a momentous occasion, attended by ambassadors and consuls of various Orthodox nations, including Greece, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Russia, and Ukraine. Even Archbishop Christobal of Rabat and a former Moroccan prime minister were present. The Greek Orthodox Church serves a diverse congregation. Greeks, Russians, Romanians, Bulgarians, and Serbs all gather under its roof. They praise God, each in their own language. This reflects the broader history of Orthodoxy in Morocco, which saw an influx of refugees after the Bolshevik Revolution and World War II. This created a vibrant community under the Patriarchate of Alexandria.
