Igreja Ortodoxa São Jorge, Orthodox church in Curitiba, Brazil.
Igreja Ortodoxa Antioquina São Jorge is an Orthodox church in Curitiba featuring Byzantine architectural design with distinctive domes and intricate religious artwork. The building displays detailed iconography both inside and outside, reflecting Orthodox Christian traditions.
Construction started in 1950 and was completed in 1962 when Metropolitan Ignatios consecrated the building. This marked the establishment of a permanent Orthodox worship site in the city.
The congregation maintains strong ties to Middle Eastern traditions through regular worship gatherings in the space. Community members gather here to practice their Orthodox faith and connect with their cultural heritage.
The church is centrally located in Curitiba and welcomes visitors interested in Orthodox Christian practices. Regular services allow visitors to observe the liturgical traditions as they unfold.
Before the permanent structure was built, community members gathered for worship in a wooden house on the site starting in 1954. This humble beginning shows how the community grew from temporary to permanent facilities.
