History Edit

 
Black-and-white reproduction of a drawing by Charles Lameire of the frieze on the inner side of the cupola's drum, depicting the four rivers in the Garden of Eden.

Before the church was consecrated, there had been at least two attempts at creating a permanent Greek Orthodox place of worship in Paris.[2] The church was commissioned by Demetrius Stefanovich Schilizzi, designed by architect Émile Vaudremer, and built by Guillotin. The purchase price of the site and construction cost amounted to F1,630,000 in total. The inside walls were decorated by Charles Lameire and the marble iconostasis by Ludwig Thiersch. Léon Avenet worked on the stained glass.

People for whom funeral offices were held in this church include Charles Debbas (August 1935),[3][4] Eleftherios Venizelos (21 March 1936) and Maria Callas (20 September 1977). The wedding of Édith Piaf and Théo Sarapo was celebrated there also on 9 October 1962.
