House of Worship

 The Cathedral of St. Sava, on West 25th Street, is the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of NYC.  Designed in 1851 by Richard M. Upjohn it was initially Trinity Chapel, the uptown branch of Trinity Church on Wall Street.  At that time it was the church of Edith Wharton who wrote about the church and its congregants in The Age Of Innocence.  In 1944 it was consecrated as the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral.
St. Sava [1174-1236] is the patron saint of Serbia.  He was born a Serbian Prince and became a monk.  He was the country's first Archbishop and also wrote the first Serbian constitution.
