English: Russian Orthodox church and graveyard at Attu Island, Alaska, 1938. Built in 1932, it replaced an old church, which was a grass-roofed barabara built of driftwood. The church served the community of 34 Aleutians in Attu Village before the World War II (Attu before the war). Original caption: This is the Russian Orthodox church at Attu Village. It ministered to the spiritual needs of the two score natives living on Attu Island at the time of the Japanese invasion. Some of the Island's wealth of flowers can be seen coming into bloom beside the church. Visitors to the Aleutians have expressed surprise at finding within easy reach masses of Alpine flowers which, in this country, and in Europe, mountain climbers scale the highest peaks just to see. |
