St.
Vladimir Church was founded in 1947 by Russian Orthodox faithful
in Miami. The founders included family members of the Russian
“New Martyrs” and many others who fled Russia from Communism,
after the Revolution of 1917 and the Second World War.
The
church is located in a Cuban area in the center of Miami very near
to the Miami airport. It is blessed with a large garden and
tropical fruit trees. The church interior is adorned with
beautiful Orthodox iconography. The church hall and home of the
priest are attached to the church.
Since
the fall of Communism in Russia, many Russians have come to live
in south Florida. These newcomers now make up nearly all the
parishioners of our parish.
