The Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Church was founded in 1794 and can only be access by air or boat as it is located on Kodiak Island. The cathedral is a well-known landmark in the community and is one of the most recognized buildings in the area. The structure that visitors see today is the fourth building that represents the church and was built in the 1940s. There are several architectural and decor aspects that are unique to that time period and location. One popular aspect is the continuously-burning lampada which was gifted to the cathedral by His Holiness Patriarch Alexis II; holy oil from the lampada is distributed freely to pilgrims and used to anoint the sick and suffering.
