New to Orthodoxy?

We all start out somewhere in our journey, and for those of you who are just starting out on your journey home towards Orthodoxy, we want to provide a few resources to help make that transition easier to navigate. Read some tips on your first visit to an Orthodox Church. Also take a moment to read more about Saint George, some of our core beliefs as Orthodox Christians, our history as a parish, and meet some of our clergy. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to e-mail us.

Theotokos Riverview Icon

The icon, “Theotokos Riverview,” was commissioned for St. George Antiochian by the faithful of St. Elizabeth OCA. The icon, written by Olga Ivkin, depicts an eschatological view of the City of St. Paul and the Mississippi River from the historic West Side/Riverview neighborhood. The following communities are included in the icon’s cityscape: St. George, West St. Paul,
St. Elizabeth, West Side, Holy Trinity, East Side, St. George, Summit. You can also see the St. Paul Cathedral in the icon, nestled among the skyscrapers. The icon presents Mary enthroned, holding Jesus coming in power—flanked by St. Elizabeth and St. George. Fr. Marc expressed his hope that the icon be a sign of our shared Orthodox ministry in St. Paul’s city. Our most sincere thanks and gratitude to Fr. Marc Boulos and the St. Elizabeth community for this wonderful gift!
