People travel from all over the world to visit the cathedral— the first Russian Orthodox Church in America — filled with icons and relics from Russia, many of them created in the 1700s.
SITKA, Alaska - St. Michaels Russian Orthodox Cathedral is known to many as the heart of Sitka.
Ana Dittmar is an archeologist and anthropologist as well as the resident church historian for St. Michael’s Cathedral. She has been working there for over 15 years, and believes its different than any other Russian Orthodox Cathedral she’s ever been in. Dittmar says it’s a different experience for every person who enters the cathedral.There’s a lot of figures that have influenced the way the cathedral is today. Bishop Innocent Veniaminov initially designed the cathedral and built the clock that’s on its front. Saint Yakov Netsvetov was the first Alaska Native to become an Orthodox priest, served Sitka community, and was eventually buried there.
