St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Milwaukee, United States
The cathedral features traditional wall mosaics crafted by Italian artist Sirio Tonelli, depicting Orthodox Christian figures in Byzantine style throughout the interior spaces.
The first Serbian Orthodox congregation in Milwaukee started in 1912, leading to the construction of this cathedral which was completed and consecrated in 1958.
The cathedral maintains both English and Church Slavonic liturgical services, connecting the Milwaukee Serbian community to their religious and linguistic heritage.
Located at 3201 South 51st Street in Milwaukee, the cathedral complex includes a parochial school and the American Serb Hall for community gatherings.
The interior mosaics required over 35 years to complete and cost more than 3 million dollars, making them a substantial artistic investment for the congregation.
