Sts. Constantine and Helen Serbian Orthodox Church
It is a parish of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of New Gracanica - Midwestern America.The eastern orthodox community had existed in the port city of Galveston since 1861 as the parish of Saints Constantine and Helen.[1][2][3] By the late 1800s a group of Serbs, Greeks, and Russians appealed to the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Tsar Nicholas II for a church.[1] Tsar Nicholas II also personally donated icons for the Iconostasis, a gospel book, and a number of sacred vessels.[5] As an adult and Metropolitan, he would frequently return to the city and preside at church weddings and baptisms.
