Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

This is the oldest Orthodox parish in North America although the church itself is fourth generation, the previous building having been destroyed by fire in the 1940's. It is small and the interior is a beautiful sight with its traditional Russian Orthodox icons, pictures and colours. The local priest was on hand to explain the history of the church and showed us the wooden reliquary that holds the remains of St Herman - a Russian monk who came to Kodiak Island in 1794 and who is now the patron saint of Alaska for the Russian Orthodox Church. There is a glass case holding his monastic hat and the large iron cross he wore in life. The church is on a hillside overlooking the town of Kodiak - it was a wonderful place to visit.

Cruise port visit to Stika, wandering round Stika and came across the Cathedral which has a $5 dollar per person entry fee, worth every cent and more. Walked inside and was stopped in my tracks by the beautiful icons and altar box, met the bishop who was simply amazing to talk to, he gave us a detailed history of the cathedral, could have spent much longer looking at all the treasures.

Sort of a nice historical “been there done that” stop but then having parked you can get a cup of coffee or tea and something to munch on at Veronica’s coffee house, Built in 1918 so you can soak up some history there as well. From the same parking lot you can also see the historic church across the street
7. St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church
