After a rebuilding process that lasted more than two decades, a Greek Orthodox church that was destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks has reopened to the public at the World Trade Center site.

Olga Pavlakos, VP of St. Nicholas Church & National Shrine said  "It's been a long time coming. 21 years. A lot of hardships, a lot of ups and downs. But we finally made it. And with the support of the archdiocese and many donors and people all over the place, we made it and we're here. And very emotional for me."

The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, now overlooks the Trade Center memorial pools from an elevated park.
