Russian Church at Kodiak
Has Many Ancient Relics
The Russian church at Kotliak
should be visited by every tourist
making the southwestern Alaska trip
this year. This church is a veritable
storehouse of enteresting antiques,
with some of the oldest and rarest
volumes in Alaska. Its bible is bound
with beaten gold, and its pages hand
printed on vellum. Many line paint
ings of great age is shown by Father
Kashevaroff, in charge of the parish
for the past fifty years, the altar be
ing inlaid with gold and rare tapes
tries.
It was at Kodiak that the Russians
had a large post in the early days, and
many vessels were built for trade in
Pacific coast waters. A number of
bells for California missions were cast
at Kodiak, and taken to the South
land.
Kodiak has more associations with
Russian rule than any other town in
Alaska, and is well worth visiting.
