EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross, a grand architectural masterpiece and spiritual beacon of Boston, Massachusetts, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky in this photograph taken around 1871. This iconic Roman Catholic cathedral, designed by Patrick Keely, was constructed between 1875 and 1878, making it one of the oldest Catholic churches in the city. The image showcases the cathedral's stunning Gothic Revival architecture, with its intricately carved stone facade, pointed arches, and tall, stained-glass windows that bathe the interior in a warm, ethereal glow. The central tower, adorned with a cross, reaches towards the heavens, symbolizing the faith and devotion of the Boston community. The Cathedral of the Holy Cross has played a significant role in the history of Boston and the Catholic Church. It was the site of several important events, including the funeral of former Mayor James Michael Curley in 1958 and the ordination of the first African American priest in the Archdiocese of Boston, Father Thomas J. Lewis, in 1970. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Cathedral of the Holy Cross was a new and awe-inspiring addition to the Boston landscape. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the beauty of architectural craftsmanship, making it a cherished piece of both local and religious history.
