 ==Chapel==
-Orthodox Christianity was part of the lives of the Russian, Creole, and Aleut colonists. In early 1820s they expressed their intentions to build a [[chapel]] dedicated to St. [[Nicholas of Myra|Nicholas]] at their own expense. The chapel was built within the walls of "Ross Fortress." The Christians of the colony were helped by the officers and crews of three Russian Navy ships in 1823-1824 who donated a considerable sum for the proposed chapel. The chapel was completed in 1825 and was used by the colonists for reader services.

(However, the [[Russian Orthodox Church Sites in Alaska Survey]], compiled in the 1970s indicates that a chapel dedicated to St. Helen was constructed already in 1812.  Whether this is the same chapel is unknown.)
 The chapel was never formally [[consecration of a church|consecrated]] as no clergymen were permanently assigned to it. In later years a few [[priest]]s visited the Ross colony and its chapel. Among these priests was Fr. [[Innocent of Alaska|John Veniaminov]]&mdash;later [[Bishop]] Innocent of Alaska, then Metropolitan of Moscow, and [[saint]]&mdash;who spent three months in 1836 at the colony. During this time he visited the Spanish missions in the San Francisco area. The missions he visited were San Raphael, San Jose, Santa Clara, and San Francisco. At the time of his visit, Fr. John recorded that of the population of about 260 at Fort Ross, fifteen percent of the local Indian population living and working in the colony were baptized into the Orthodox Christian faith.

-With the departure of the Ross colonists in 1842, the fort and its chapel came under the care of successive owners. In the spring of 1897, Bishop [[Nicholas (Ziorov) of Warsaw|Nicholas]], Fr. [[Sebastian (Dabovich)|Sebastian Dabovich]], and reader Paul Grepachevsky visited Fort Ross, and were dismayed at the condition the sacred sites were in, noting that they couldn't enter the chapel since it was now used as a barn and that only "insignificant remains" of the cemetery were to be found. In 1903, the two and a half acres comprising the fort, chapel and other buildings were sold to the California Historical Landmarks League, which deeded the property to the State of California in 1906. In 1905, eight years after the visit by Bishop Nicholas and company to Fort Ross, Bishop [[Tikhon of Moscow]] and Fr. Theodore Pashkovsky (the future [[Theophilus (Pashkovsky) of San Francisco|Metropolitan Theophilus]]) visited, and according to them, the situation at the fort had improved, noting, for instance, on the "cleanliness of the chapel".  Also in 1906, the great San Andreas fault earthquake occurred severely damaging the buildings in the area of the old colony. The San Andreas fault passes very close to Fort Ross. During the following years these buildings, including the chapel, were restored. The area passed to the administration of the California Parks and Recreation Department that now controls the use of the fort. The area of the Fort Ross Historic Park has through the twentieth century been enlarged to 3,277 acres as of 1992.

The area passed to the administration of the California Parks and Recreation Department that now controls the use of the fort.
 As recorded by the [[Orthodox Church in America]], the successor to the Russian Orthodox mission in Alaska, the chapel is now called the Holy Trinity Chapel. Orthodox services are held in the chapel twice each year: on [[July 4]] and on Memorial Day. The July 4 services began in 1925. Additional services may be conducted for special events.
