Description
Since Louisiana is the one state within the union to prepare itself through parishes and not counties, it will have to come as no surprise that its places of worship are pillars of its communities. The Big Easy is no exception. From New Orleans to the Northshore, stately churches, grand cathedrals and rustic chapels act as reliquaries and safeguards of community history and strength. The stories in their builders, architects and leaders exemplify development and the immigrant revel in in Louisiana. Their parishioners embody the varied and personal meanings of religion and devotion. Sign up for Deborah Burst as she explores the wealthy history of churches of New Orleans.
