Szczecin Poland
Polish Orthodox
Following repatriation after World War II, people coming to Szczecin included Orthodox from the East. By 1947 the fledgling parish had a small chapel. Priceless icons from a Lemko church in Zdynia were brought and are still in the church today. In the early 1960s the parish moved to a previous Evangelical Church's hospital chapel. On Easter Monday, 1997, some of the Lemko icons were stolen, but they have been recovered. Permission was given in 2000 for a new site for a larger church. A site in the city center has been secured and building plans began at the end of 2003. The church was completed by 2010.
