Color photograph of the inside of St. Nicholas Albanian Church in Chicago. The photo has three candles on a stand at the right, with a wooden chair that has a religious figure carved into the back next to it. There is a red carpet leading up to it, and the seat is red as well. Behind it, there is a black flag on a pole with a cross on top that also displays a religious figure. Along the back wall, there are stained glass windows. To the left of the chair, there is a pulpit with speakers.

St. Nicholas Albanian Church was founded in 1944. Their first church building was purchased in 1947. The founders were from the southeastern part of Albania, a city called Korca. They are said to have an icon of Mother Mary that weeps as though by a miracle. Many visitors come to see this icon.
