St Ellien's Orthodox Church

500 Spring St, Brownsville

What to expect on a first visit

St Ellien's Orthodox Church describes itself: “Saint Ellien of Homs (Syria) Orthodox Church, Brownsville, United States.” Expect ancient liturgy engaging all the senses — chant, incense, and icons. Much of the congregation stands, and people come and go quietly during the long service; arriving mid-liturgy is normal and unremarkable. Music is chanted liturgy, largely a cappella.
