The National Hellenic Museum will be closed to the public from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM on Friday, June 16 due to a private event.
Very few things invoke the experience of Greek American life more than the sights, sounds, and smells of the Greek Orthodox Church. Since Late Antiquity, the Greek people have been defined by their Orthodox Christian faith, and anywhere in the world there are Greeks, you will inevitably find a “Greek church.” Legacy, Renewal & Unity: Celebrating 100 Years of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America created and presented by The Archbishop Iakovos Leadership 100 Foundation is an exploration of the first hundred years since the formal organization of the Greek Orthodox Church in America. Using a captivating blend of artifacts and interactive displays, this exhibition follows the development of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (GOA) from its founding in 1922 to the present.

Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate: Protecting the Future of Faith
While at the National Hellenic Museum Legacy, Renewal & Unity: Celebrating 100 Years of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America will be exhibited alongside a special presentation created by the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate: Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate: Protecting the Future of Faith. This multimedia experience highlights the Archon’s work to defend the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, an ancient center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and religious freedom around the world. It is a testament to the commitment of a small group’s unrelenting defense of liberty, their faith, and human dignity.
Legacy, Renewal & Unity: Celebrating 100 Years of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate: Protecting the Future of Faith are on display at the National Hellenic Museum as part of the museum’s ongoing commitment to the Greek American community.
