Following the legal recognition of the Christian Faith and the end of the persecutions against the followers of Jesus by the emperor Constantine, he sent his mother to the Holy Land to find the cross on which our Lord was crucified.
Our parish, Holy Cross Orthodox Church, lives under the protection of the Precious and Holy, Life-giving Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Each year on September 14 we commemorate this blessed event and give thanks for the many blessings we have enjoyed under the protection of the Holy Cross!
Please join us for this wonderful celebration!
“O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance, granting victory to Orthodox Christians over their adversaries and by Thy Cross, preserve Thy habitation.””
The Orthodox Church is the One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are a Christ-centered church. In fact, we share an unbroken history with the Faith of the first Christians, and we can trace our history back to the Apostles themselves.
This parish is part of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. We are pan-Orthodox. This means our membership includes many who were born into the Faith, as well as many converts. In our parish, all services are fully in English.
Anyone and everyone is more than welcome to join us for services! If you have questions about our church and what we believe, feel free to reach out to Father Joshua, our parish priest!

Located in Linthicum, MD, Holy Cross Antiochian Orthodox Church is a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America. We began as a mission parish in early 1993 with six families who converted to Holy Orthodoxy. Today, our community numbers over 200 members, about half of whom are converts from several Protestant denominations.
