This beautiful Greek Orthodox Cathedral was constructed in 2006 after the local parish community had purchased 17 acres in Reynoldsburg, on the near east side of Columbus, Ohio in 2003.

The history of the parishes is just fascinating, and somewhat hard to follow. Strongly recommend that if you are interested, go to the St. Mary website. Lots of history, lots of photos, and just lots of information. We enjoyed seeing this magnificent cathedral while visiting family.
Magnificent Byzantine-style architecture. Quite a history.

Thanks, Tim. Before coming across this I knew nothing about the US history of this church.

No real reason you should have known about it. There are so many cultural things in this country we have to happen upon and be astonished about. I saw an orthodox church with similar architecture in Aux-en-Provence, France. All the orthodox church buildings out here are rather bland.
