St. Elijah Cathedral, Greek Melkite Catholic cathedral in Haifa, Israel
St. Elijah Cathedral features Byzantine architectural elements, a crowned front with a cross, and a bell tower next to the main building.
The cathedral, designed by architect Sammihom Atallah, opened its doors in 1939 to serve the Melkite Greek Catholic community of northern Israel.
The cathedral maintains Eastern Christian traditions through Byzantine rites, religious artwork, and traditional icons that reflect the Melkite heritage.
