I visted there in June, well worth the 5.00 as this goes to keep the church up. I had no problem paying that. One thing I noticed right when I stepped in was the amazing energy I felt, as I was getting ready to leave I mentioned it to the Patriarch, who was not only very knowledgable, but nice and friendly man, who told me that the energy I was feeling was the saints that were blessing you when you walked in. I encourage all who decide to go, just to take a moment and reflect on the feeling as you enter the church. The treasures and history was amazing as well. Interesting place to visit. Very old and historical items An active church part of the Russian and First nations hisory of Sitka Alaska. Beautiful icons inside. Not a museum, not a landmark, this church is a holy house for those who wish to take time to pray, reverence the icons and know the history of Christianity brought to Alaska. It is small but very beautiful, a living church with local congregation and services. This handsome, earnest cathedral is less ostentatious than most, presenting its Orthodox iconography in a sparse, honest setting that feels almost like a large family's home than a place of worship. The chilly exterior belies the warmth inside, where gold and red tones dominate. The small donation taken at the door (five bucks) is entirely appropriate if it helps keep a space like this one up and running. Not a destination, precisely -- but well worth seeing if you're in Sitka for the day.
