Cathedral of the Annunciation

In the late 1800's, the first immigrants from Greece arrived in Atlanta. As their numbers grew, they organized their own community and desired to establish a church of their faith, Orthodoxy. Our Cathedral of the Annunciation was officially organized in 1905. September 5, 1905 is recognized as the birthday of our church. It has grown from an immigrant Church which first worshiped in a rented hall in downtown Atlanta to the present resplendent Cathedral on Clairmont Road. Here Greek Orthodoxy in Atlanta stands today keeping faith with its heritage, remaining true to its traditions, carrying forward the simple, humble beginnings of the early immigrants to a fruition they could scarcely have dreamed possible.
