Description

As in other cities, Cleveland has developed through the evolution of its European ethnic neighborhoods and their more than a few religions. Many of these neighborhoods built their own churches, which became the focal point of community development and unity. For decades, these churches thrived, but the new millennium has brought with it huge changes within the economy. Large “membership” institutions, like the Catholic Church, have had to make the toughest of decisions―closing churches that were regarded as a permanent a part of the local landscape. The authors of this book feel it is very important preserve the memory of these significant religious, cultural, and social institutions in order that the current and future generations do not omit them. The pictures of these unbelievable places take on a whole new meaning when coupled with the fact that they are going to soon be gone. These pages celebrate the architecture, art, and artifacts of these sacred structures in high-quality photographs and explanations.
