Burwood, St Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church

St Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church is located in the inner west suburb of Burwood. This heritage listed church on Railway Parade was formerly a Methodist Church. I chose this photo today because it's Good Friday for Orthodox christians.

    I was in Sydney last week. We should have caught up!

    You'll see an unusual view of Sydney on my blog this arvo, around midday. Something you'll definitely identify with!

    The contrast between the building and the sky is striking.

    I love old churches like this. We have some pretty ones here in California but not older than 120 years. Thanks for sharing! Have a super weekend. Supposed to be 90 here!

    Beautiful solid church against a lovely sky. The architecture wouldn't look out of place here in Scotland.
