Resurrection of Christ Church, Orthodox church in Zurich, Switzerland
The Resurrection of Christ Church is an Orthodox church building in Zurich located on Narzissenstrasse. The structure serves as a gathering place for the Russian Orthodox community and their worship activities.
The building was originally a Free Church meeting place before being converted into a Russian Orthodox church. The transformation was completed in 2002, establishing this Orthodox place of worship in the city.
The congregation follows Russian Orthodox traditions with standing services and chanting ceremonies marked by the Julian calendar. These liturgical practices shape how worshippers experience their faith and connect to Orthodox Christianity.
The church is accessible from Narzissenstrasse, and visitors should know that formal dress and respectful behavior are expected during services. It helps to check when services take place beforehand to make your visit smooth.
The original organ was removed during renovation because Russian Orthodox worship excludes instrumental music from its liturgy. This absence is a defining feature of Orthodox practice, which focuses on vocal singing and choral performance.
