Saints Cyril and Methodius Orthodox chapel in Warsaw

Saints Cyril and Methodius Orthodox chapel in Warsaw, Orthodox chapel in Warsaw, Poland

Saints Cyril and Methodius Orthodox chapel occupies the second floor of the Center for Orthodox Culture at 4 Saints Cyril and Methodius Street, in a building erected between 1927 and 1930 as a dormitory for Orthodox theology students. The chapel retains its original coffered ceiling, floor and entrance doors. A two-row iconostasis donated by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow was consecrated in April 2013, and between 2014 and 2016 Grzegorz Zinkiewicz painted polychromes with 111 figures.

The building was erected between 1927 and 1930 as a dormitory for students of the Orthodox Theology Study at the University of Warsaw, and a chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker was set up on its second floor. In autumn 1944 the Ministry of Public Security took over the building, and the chapel was replaced by a conference hall. The Police returned the building to the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church in 2010, and in October 2012 an academic chapel under the name of Saints Cyril and Methodius opened in the former chapel's place.

The chapel is named for Cyril and Methodius, the ninth-century missionaries to the Slavs. Its two-row iconostasis was donated by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and consecrated in April 2013. The wall paintings by Grzegorz Zinkiewicz, made in 2014–2016, show 111 figures, among them the Church Fathers and Polish Orthodox saints.

Visitors can attend morning and evening prayers on weekdays, with main services held on Sundays. Since the chapel is located within a cultural center, access follows standard building navigation and hours.

The wall paintings made between 2014 and 2016 by Grzegorz Zinkiewicz show 111 figures, among them the Church Fathers and Polish Orthodox saints. On the east wall is the Communion of the Apostles; the west wall, on a dark navy ground instead of the light blue used elsewhere, shows the Second Coming and the Last Judgment.
