St Mary's Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Wood Green

St Mary's, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God, stands on Trinity Road in Wood Green. It was built in 1871 as Trinity Methodist Church, became a Greek Orthodox church in 1970 and was later raised to a cathedral. After a fire in 1986 the community rebuilt it.

Inside, galleries run along both sides under a high timber roof, and the painted apse glows behind the icon screen. From the gallery I can show the whole church full for the crowning.

I've photographed weddings and christenings here since 2007. Flash is almost always allowed in Greek Orthodox churches, so I can photograph the whole service.
