Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral

Beautiful church, especially inside. As a former Roman Catholic turned nondenominational, I’ve been recently on a journey to understand my family history via my deceased father who was born in Serbia.
He didn’t practice Serbian Orthodox, but he has let me know that at least members in his family did. Ever since I have been attending, I haven’t missed a liturgy. It feels great to be among Serbians, especially believing Serbians (Christians), and expose myself to the language.
I appreciate so much their support for English-​only speakers like me, and look forward to their adult, Orthodox class they offer on Fridays between September and May. From the city standpoint, this church is tucked in what seems the most northwestern part of the city, and the community surrounding the church property is very beautiful, and it is conveniently located by the Canfield Road exit off of I-​90.
Every time I attend liturgy here, I really feel at home. The incense that reminds me of my Roman Catholic days when I was little, draws me in deeper. I look forward to learning more about the Serbian Orthodox, and practicing it for family, traditional, and cultural reasons. I hope this Christian community will help me learn more about who I am, and help me become a devout practicing Christian (while also keeping my non-​Catholic/​non-​Orthodox values that I have gained through the years).
By the way, there is a huge parking lot on the property which is mostly fenced in. Also, there is an elementary school as part of the church, which I am sure is a huge help to Serbs who benefit from being involved in the Serbian community here in the Chicago area.
This church, from what I’ve noticed is also well-​connected to other Serbian churches in the Midwest, like Wiscponsin, and Indiana.

It’s probably a little weird that I am writing a review since I do not go to the church but, I am a photographer and I was hired to photograph a christening last weekend.
Doing my job I experience all types of businesses (yes, in it’s own way, a church is a business.) I just wanted to say how much I appreciate how friendly and accommodating the priests were. For my purpose, the lighting was fantastic! Which in the end result should make the parents receiving the images very happy.
The ceremony was lovely and there were smiles all around which should happen during such a joyous event. The church itself was stunningly beautiful inside.
Overall, I think it was a great experience so, Thank You!
I may have to keep an eye on the website next summer so I can go back for some Serbian food!

Hey I give 5 stars for this Serbian Orthodox Church for several reasons.
The Church has many programs for children and it also has serbian lessons for adults with a bible program.
There are many festivities like food and activities for families and friends during the summer months. The location of the church isn’t far from the airport. It has a unique byzantine architecture with many different icons.

You have probably drove past this wonderful example of Serbian architecture on the Kennedy Expy but didn’t realize it. It’s the cinnamon and crème colored cathedral with five (5) domes near Higgins Road. Yes, that’s it!
The interior is a wonderful expression of Orthodox beauty as expressed in it’s outstanding iconastas.
The cathedral fills well beyond capacity for such major holidays as Serbian Christmas Eve, January 6^th. However, go over to the church hall for a taste of Serbian cooking, it’s just like the old country or a cheap trip to Europe! Either way, it’s worth a visit.
The only complaint I would have, are their interior chandeliers look too modern and space age and detract from the pure beauty of the church itself. They do nothing, in my opinion to enhance the rich beauty of this cathedral.
Check out the well attended Serb Fest in August! Great cevapcici and pastry! …Serbs know how to cook good… and drink lots of slivovitz!
