Description

Historic cathedrals occupy places of honor in cities across America. In this program, visit some of the most beautiful Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the United States. San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio, rich in Hispanic heritage, is the oldest cathedral building in the U.S. The Cathedral of St. Louis in New Orleans was built in the 1790s amidst the Creole culture of the French Quarter. New York City holds three gems: the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, and the Cathedral of St John the Divine (Episcopal)-the largest cathedral in the world, and still unfinished! Finally, visit the magnificent Washington National Cathedral, which has provided a pulpit to the nation through times of trial and reflection.
