St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church was constructed in 1849, possibly tracing back to the Byzantine era or even earlier Christian foundations. Despite its unassuming exterior of stone, the church's interior is a treasure trove of artistic splendor. Vibrant frescoes, intricate stained glass windows, and meticulously crafted religious icons adorn its sacred space, a testament to the devoted labor of both local artisans and Greek craftsmen who journeyed to contribute to its embellishment.
Within the church's walls lies a precious collection of ancient books and Bibles, spanning languages from Aramaic to Ancient Greek, offering a glimpse into the rich literary and spiritual heritage of the Orthodox Christian tradition. Beyond its architectural and historical significance, St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church serves as a spiritual sanctuary for the Orthodox community in Karak. Here, faithful congregants gather to participate in liturgical services, engaging in solemn prayers, uplifting hymns, and sacred sacraments that nurture a sense of communal unity and foster spiritual growth and introspection.
