STATEHOUSE – Senate lawmakers March 10, 2009, honored the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church of Indianapolis and Carmel on opening its new temple modeled after traditional Byzantine architecture.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 51, authored by State Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel), honors the congregation’s new temple which is reminiscent of the Byzantine Church of Holy Wisdom in Constantinople. Built with a large central dome signifying the universe and eternity, the temple’s design is called ‘the Triad’ and is the first of its kind in the modern world.
“The Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox parish has been a part of our community since 1910, opening its arms and welcoming people from all faiths and traditions,” Delph said. “I congratulate Rev. Anastasios Gounaris, Parish Council President Dr. Dennis Dickos, and the parish council building committee on their new breathtaking temple. Thank you for being such an important part of our Central Indiana community.”
The Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox parish has been the home of the Indy Greek Fest since 1973 and welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The new temple is located in Carmel on the corner of 106th street and Shelborne Road.
