Kim Lawton  reports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KIM LAWTON<\/strong>:  Four years after 9\/11, it&#8217;s still hard for lifelong  New Yorker John Pitsikalis to visit Ground Zero. The fenced in pit there  represents for him a dual tragedy &#8212; the terrorist attacks and the  destruction of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, his parish church.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JOHN PITSIKALIS<\/strong> (Board President, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox  Parish):  It was, you know &#8212; well, let&#8217;s face it, it was the loss of  life that really was the unbearable part, you know. But, you know,  losing that, you know, you always need your faith in hard times, and  here when I want to go to church, my church is gone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  St. Nicholas had stood, literally, in the shadow of the  Twin Towers. The tiny, three-story box-like structure had originally  been a house built in the early 19th century.  Greek immigrants acquired  the property in the early 1920s and turned it into a home for their  fledgling congregation.  Pitsikalis&#8217;s grandfather was one of the  founders of the church.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2011\/09\/post01-stnicholaschurch.jpg\" alt=\"post01-stnicholaschurch\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9462\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>PITSIKALIS<\/strong>: He was in the travel business, and he had a hotel, and they would use that dining room every Sunday for services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  Pitsikalis says his earliest childhood memories are of  attending Holy Week services at St. Nicholas Church with his  grandfather.  Today he is president of the parish&#8217;s board.<\/p>\n<p>This is what St. Nicholas looked like just before 9\/11.  About 70  families were members, but Pitsikalis says the small church also had a  wide ministry as a place of prayer for people who worked on Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PITSIKALIS<\/strong>:  Wednesdays were amazing, because we would open our  church every Wednesday from 11 o&#8217;clock until 3 o&#8217;clock. And people would  come in who were not necessarily Greek Orthodox but just wanted a place  of solitude, and maybe contemplate for a little bit.  And the church  was actually quite crowded every Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  John Couloucoundis&#8217;s family is in the shipping business.   He says his father got involved with the church because St. Nicholas  is the patron saint of sailors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JOHN COULOUCOUNDIS<\/strong> (Fundraising Committee Chair, St. Nicholas  Greek Orthodox Parish):  There was a lot of history in that church, a  lot of people that had brought icons or had contributed to make it  really a little gem.  But the thing you sensed more in St. Nicholas was  this close-knit community, these people who had been involved with the  church for generations and supported it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2011\/09\/post02-stnicholaschurch.jpg\" alt=\"post02-stnicholaschurch\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9463\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  Then came Sept. 11, 2001.  As the towers around it began to fall, the tiny church never had a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>PITSIKALIS<\/strong>:  That day was a nightmare. The debris from the south tower literally pancaked our church.  You know, it was an unbelievable amount of debris on it.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>COULOUCOUNDIS<\/strong>:  The destruction was so complete it was amazing that we found anything at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  A few remnants were dug out of the rubble:  two torn icons, a charred Bible, three wax candles intact but fused together from  the heat.<\/p>\n<p>Church officials also found some liturgical items, including a twisted  candelabra.  But precious relics, including bone fragments of Saint Nicholas himself, were never recovered.  The church was in shock, but  the determination to rebuild was immediate.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>COULOUCOUNDIS<\/strong>:  Within about two weeks after the destruction  of the church the parish had already organized, was having meetings, and was trying to figure out how to go forward.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>PITSIKALIS<\/strong>:  We weren&#8217;t going to leave that part of New York,  you know.  We never for one moment thought of relocating our church to  another location.  We were going to stay where we were founded. Where  that work station is right across the way was really &#8212; with the four flags, that&#8217;s where our church stood. That&#8217;s exactly the spot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2011\/09\/post03-stnicholaschurch.jpg\" alt=\"post03-stnicholaschurch\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9464\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  But four years later they still don&#8217;t have a church.  St. Nicholas is irrevocably tied to the future of Ground Zero.  The church cannot rebuild or even draw up design plans until all of the complex ownership, security and architectural issues surrounding the  World Trade Center site are sorted out.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>COULOUCOUNDIS<\/strong>:  The assurances that we have from the state,  the federal level, the city level is that the church will be rebuilt.  I think that one of the problems is the logistics of doing that amidst all the other demands and constraints of the Ground Zero area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  John Couloucoundis is head of the parish fundraising committee.  He says in addition to being a parish church, the rebuilt  St. Nicholas will include an interdenominational center that will focus  on the spiritual side of 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>COULOUCOUNDIS<\/strong>:  We&#8217;re not a big parish, but we&#8217;ll have  hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world wanting to stop  by and spend some time in there to reflect.  It&#8217;s a place where we can  all come together and think about what happened and maybe spend a little  time thinking about how to avoid such a thing in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  In the meantime, St. Nicholas parish members are  worshipping at a Greek Orthodox church in Brooklyn.  They are trying to be patient, but they&#8217;re anxious to move ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>PITSIKALIS<\/strong>:  We do have a lot of older members and, you know, they&#8217;re getting frustrated.  They want to be alive to see that church built.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  Pitsikalis says the ordeal has strengthened his own faith and brought his parish together.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. <strong>PITSIKALIS<\/strong>:  It&#8217;s like, you know, when you lose a, you know,  family relation.  You know, you all cling together more than ever, and  we depend on each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>:  I&#8217;m Kim Lawton in New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For members of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which was totally demolished on 9\/11, this anniversary serves as a reminder of how long it&#8217;s taking to rebuild. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/2005\/09\/09\/september-9-2005-saint-nicholas-greek-orthodox-church\/9457\/\" class=\"more\">More <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72,"featured_media":17470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[10041,8351,7660,4240,987,6966],"class_list":["post-9457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-greek-orthodox","tag-ground-zero","tag-reconstruction","tag-relics","tag-september-11","tag-st-nicholas","topics-war-and-peace","faith-eastern-orthodox","spotlight-september-11-anniversary"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>September 9, 2005 ~ Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church | September 9, 2005 | Religion &amp;
