St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was a Greek Orthodox Church that stood across Liberty Street from the World Trade Center in New York City, USA. It was destroyed in the September 11 attacks in 2001, when the South Tower collapsed. It was the only building not part of the World Trade Center complex to be immediately destroyed by the attacks, although the Deutsche Bank Building and Fiterman Hall were demolished due to severe damage.
== Early history==
The building that came to house the church was built around 1832. It was originally a private dwelling which was later turned into a tavern. In 1916, Greek American immigrants started the congregation of St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. In 1919, five families raised $25,000 to buy the tavern and converted it into a church, and started to hold worship services in 1922. The church building was only wide, long, and tall and was easily dwarfed by the 110 story Twin Towers, which were completed in 1972 and 1973. Despite its small size and unusual location (all the adjacent buildings〔 had been demolished, making the church be surrounded on three sides by a parking lot〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our History )〕), before the attacks the church had a dedicated congregation of about 70 families led by Father John Romas. On Wednesdays, the building was opened to the public and many people, including office workers from the towers and non-Greek Orthodox, would enter the quiet worship space for contemplation and prayer.
Among the church's most valuable physical possessions were some of the relics (remains) of St Nicholas, St Catherine, and St Sava,〔 which had been donated to the church by Nicholas II, the last czar of Russia. These relics were removed from their safe on holy days for veneration; they were never recovered after the attack.〔
