Nice! Can’t wait to see that marble rise. And the banner says it’s opening next year, let’s hope that’s true

This is like the Basílica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona. Generations will come and go without it being completed. Same with 2wtc

“ Construction will resume Monday on the new St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Lower Manhattan, filling a gaping hole left when the original house of worship was destroyed in the 9/11 terror attacks.”
“ It will begin once again on Monday when a crane lowers the first skylight into the church’s dome, in a ceremony presided over by Cuomo and Archbishop Elpidophoros, the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church in America.”

Awesome…let’s get this thing done already! This big block of concrete is such an eyesore in its current state.
Once the marble is on this will be quite a nice addition to the area.

This is a cute little church but I kind of wish it were more of a cathedral. Unfortunately with a calatrava design this is about as big a church as anyone could afford (especially with the embezzlement and all)
