St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox cathedral located on Starkweather Avenue in the Tremont neighborhood, on the near west side of Cleveland, Ohio. It is considered one of the finest examples of Russian church architecture in the U.S. and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The parish is the first Orthodox parish in Cleveland and is currently under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of the Midwest of the Orthodox Church in America.
St. Theodosius is perhaps best known for its appearance in the 1978 film, The Deer Hunter with Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, and Meryl Streep.
Saint Theodosius of Chernigov, the patron saint to which the cathedral is dedicated, was born in the early 1630s in Podolia.
The name given to him in baptism is unknown.
He was educated at the Brotherhood Monastery in Kiev.
He became a monk at the Kiev Caves Monastery and named Theodosius, in honor of Theodosius of Kiev.
He was later ordained as a celibate priest at the Saint Nicholas Krupytskyi Monastery near Baturyn.
In 1662, he was appointed hegumen of the Korsun Monastery in Kaniv.
In 1664, he was appointed hegumen of the Vydubychi Monastery in Kiev.
