Photo Gallery: St. Dimitrie Orthodox Church Celebrates a Century

St. Dimitrie Orthodox Church celebrated its 100th anniversary on Friday, Sept. 6 and Saturday, Sept. 7 by welcoming surrounding communities to its annual Fall Festival.

Visitors toured the church on Sport Hill Road and learned about the intricately painted icons and saw the iconostasis, a hand-carved wooden screen bearing icons that divides the altar from the rest of the church. Completed in the 1960s, the iconostasis was brought to the Easton church from the first parish that began in 1924.

Inside the church hall, visitors found authentic favorites like stuffed cabbage, baked fish with tomato-onion sauce, spinach pita, grilled leg of lamb on the rotisserie, găina friptă (chicken with special sauce), and mititei (homemade sausage). The ever-popular pastry booth offered specialties like baklava, cookies, Macedonian eclairs, sweet bread, and more.
