    When the Gold Rush started many around the world came including those we are speaking about today…read more Serbians populated and still populate Amador County, California. This is the first and oldest Serbian Church in the United States and Canada. The construction of the church started early in 1894. The church bell was presented to the church by the Russian Bishop, the Rt. Reverend Nikola. This church sure stands out. A few years ago my mom was visiting me and we saw the church from the street above and we were determined to find it. This is one gem you won't want to miss. I've taken the kids here a few times now. Within its time many events have happened. Many loved ones have died. Many loved ones have been born. Much sorrow.... much joy... all endure in memory eternal... past, present, and future molded into one. "-Milo Radulovich

    What an absolute gem of a little church we have in Jackson, the tiny Serbian Orhtodox church, atop…read morea pristine, elaborate graveyard in front; and the paintings on the interior have to be seen to be believed. Best time to do this is at their vespers service. No, I'm not Serbian, and certainly not orthodox, but this place is just unbelievable. It's a little known fact that this is the very first church of its kind in America, built in the early 1890's.....the mother church for that faith, and it's a stunner, and a visual standout as you come over the hill to descend into the town of Jackson and look slightly to the left. (Jackson was also home to the first synagog in California, right around the corner, at what is now the elementary school. )They also have the St. Sava Serbian mission campgrounds on the other side of town where Serbs gather every year over 4th of July weekend for an annual event that's fun and has real cultural significance.
