Saint Thomas Orthodox Syrian Church

28201 Kemptown Road, Damascus

What to expect on a first visit

Saint Thomas Orthodox Syrian Church describes itself: “The Apostle Thomas was born in the Galileian city of Pansada and was a fisherman.” 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. Children's programming or nursery care is available.
