Notre Dame de Montreal: Quebec’s Celestial Cathedral
The Notre Dame de Montreal is less famous than its big sister in Paris, but no less glorious. Canada’s most famous Catholic cathedral was designed by an Irish-American Protestant, James O’Donnell, who converted to Catholicism on his deathbed so he could be buried in his own church.
Notre Dame de Montreal is Neo-Gothic, built during the 19th century. The exterior is impressive, but the true glory lies within: a constellation of blue and green skies, stained glass, and golden stars shower both tourists and church-goers with heavenly light.
