Russian Old Rite Orthodox Church of The Nativity

It's such a beautiful church. The biggest church overlooking the coast of Lake Erie and the center of Little Russia. The church caught my attention and made me proud of my Russian roots, and my ancestors are watching over me, including God.

I recently visited an Orthodox Church, and it was a deeply enriching experience. The architecture was stunning, featuring intricate icons and beautiful frescoes that conveyed a sense of history and spirituality. The atmosphere inside was serene, with soft candlelight and the faint scent of incense creating a meditative space. The service was profoundly moving, characterized by rich liturgical traditions. The chanting and rituals were performed with great reverence, providing a glimpse into the deep-rooted customs of the Orthodox faith. I appreciated how welcoming the community was, inviting visitors to join in the prayers and participate in the rituals. Overall, my visit was a blend of spiritual reflection and cultural appreciation. I would highly recommend attending a service for anyone i

Just wanted to write a review to thank Fr. Pimen and the great online bookstore that has so many awesome liturgical resources. I had a slight hiccup with an order and Fr. Pimen the head priest personally called me and helped me sort it out. Thanks Fr. Pimen! I’ve never been but have met people who have and they really enjoyed it. The parish does a lot of services and doesn’t really abbreviate them, which is rare. Seems like a solid traditional parish that keeps a lot of practices pure. Hope to go one day God Willing.

I am Orthodox and I can tell you all our services are beautiful; however, Vigil here is one of the most beautiful Services I have attended. The people here are very welcoming. I am not Russian nor do I have an "Old Rite" background but people here really embrace strangers the Chant is beautiful in the old style. I want to come back for a Liturgy next I am in Erie.

I am a baptized and confessing ROCOR (Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia) Christian. This is the church that I love and attend. The services are firmly rooted in holy tradition, the iconography on the inside is breath taking, and the service is fantastic. If you are looking for a traditional Orthodox experience, please come and see. The worship is done mostly in English with some Church Slavonic.
