Greek & Russian Orthodox Communities,
Asheville, North Carolina

In the spring of 2008 University of North Carolina at Asheville history students helped to organize an icon exhibit showcasing Asheville’s Greek and Russian Orthodox communities.  In conjunction with that exhibit, students of the Public History class interviewed members of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church and Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church.  This website is a result of this project, and features excerpts and, in some cases, full text from these interviews, as well as family photographs, icons, and memorabilia. 

We would like to thank all those who donated their time and loaned their materials, and everyone else who helped to make this online exhibit a success.
