📖

Full description

Chiesa della Natività di Cristo is a small Orthodox church in Florence, a quiet contrast to the city's famous Catholic basilicas. Reviewers describe a lovely, welcoming atmosphere and mention attending liturgy, noting a living parish rather than a museum piece.

Opening is limited: it is closed on Mondays and open only for a couple of afternoon hours on Saturdays, and Orthodox churches are often open mainly for services and feast days. A visit is brief, around 15 minutes, and entry is free.

Reviews

A gem! Was fortunate enough to attend Liturgy during our visit to Florence. Happy to see a thriving parish! FYI: Orthodox churches are usually not always open, except for liturgies or special feast days, so it's best to visit on Sunday mornings or at least check the website for services
