"Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die." (John 11:26 - NRSV)

It is out Orthodox faith, this same faith in Jesus Christ that teaches and strengthens us to look confidently beyond the present life and all its uncertainties. For we know that when death comes and inevitably it will come to each one Of us, we will be with the Lord.

"For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." (11 Corinthians 5:1 - NRSV)

It began with a dream and a vision years ago. A place where those who share the common Orthodox faith, those who believe in Christ the Lord will also share a common place, a cemetery, a place of rest for the body until the coming of the Lord. A place where families can pay their respects to those who have past, say a prayer and reminisce in a beautiful setting reminiscent of the village cemeteries of Greece. A place where memories of families and friends will abound, and one will not be forgotten.

Nestled in the beautiful setting at the top of a hill, this Greek Orthodox Section includes St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Chapel, open to all of the Greek Orthodox Faithful in Southern California.
