Historic St. Theodosius Cathedral damaged in fire
CLEVELAND, Ohio — St. Theodosius Orthodox Christian Cathedral, located in Tremont just outside downtown Cleveland, reported significant damage after its roof caught fire Tuesday afternoon.
The fire started around 3:30 p.m., and local fire crews responded to put it out to save the temple. Meanwhile, the Cathedral Dean and priest Jan Cizmar, neighbors and clergy began to remove and preserve holy items from the church.
“As many of you already know our Cathedral was greatly damaged by a fire that started this afternoon. The fire started on the roof for unknown reasons,” Cizmar said in a Facebook post belonging to the church. “I would like to thank the Cleveland fire department and other local fire departments for their help. I also offer my gratitude to the Cleveland police, Tremont West, our neighbors, friends and of course to you, our dear parishioners of our beloved Cathedral.”
The church was constructed between 1911-1912 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States. Organized by immigrant Russians living in Tremont in 1896, the parish served the needs of Orthodox Christians and was considered the “Mother Church” for most of the Orthodox Christian churches in today’s northeast Ohio.
The archbishop Daniel of Chicago and the Midwest arrived at the cathedral Tuesday evening to inspect it.
On Wednesday, the church was being cleared of debris; including the removal of pews as water continued to drip from the ceiling. The church said a service was held by the archbishop on Wednesday morning to pray for the cathedral and parish.

West side Cleveland mom shot in her face during carjacking and lives to tell 19 News about it
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – On Friday, just two days into the new year, 38-year-old Cleveland mom, Tiffany Muscatell, reveals what happened that led to her being shot in her face by a stranger.
Woman shot on Cleveland’s West Side during carjacking
She spoke exclusively with 19 News senior reporter Harry Boomer late Friday afternoon.
The shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. in the 7900 block of Madison Avenue, Cleveland police said.
“What Happened? I was taking my son to my mom’s house, and a guy held me at gunpoint. Told me to get on the ground. I got on the ground. I didn’t have any money. He got into the car, told me to get my son out. It took too long. He threw me out the back and the gun went off. Then he took my son out and threw him on the ground.”
Muscatell was rushed to Metro Health Medical Center by EMS with a gunshot wound to her face.
She has more than a dozen stitches and is home to begin the healing process.
Several of her neighbors expressed outrage about what happened to her and her young son.
Here’s Howard Fetterman, who lives in the same Detroit Shoreway community as she does.
“Really, a baby with her. That’s ridiculous and insane. I think it’s disgusting for somebody to shoot a lady with a baby. They ought to catch the son-of-a-gun.”
Police found Muscatell’s car a short time after the carjacking near her home. The shooter is still on the loose.
