Hallowed Halls of Greater New Orleans: Historic Churches, Cathedrals and Sanctuaries (Landmarks) by Deborah Burst
Since Louisiana is the only state in the union to organize itself through parishes and not counties, it should 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 of their builders, architects and leaders exemplify development and the immigrant experience in Louisiana. Their parishioners embody the diverse and personal meanings of faith and devotion. Join Deborah Burst as she explores the rich history of churches of New Orleans.
Burst, Deborah C.: - A confessed tree-hugger, Deborah Burst is enamored with the magical world of nature. Equally passionate about history and preservation, she travels to what seems to be the ends of the earth. It's her addiction, be it spying a hidden graveyard, opening the doors to another sacred temple, or scouring the dark corners of shrouded bayous and forests, Deborah gives a voice to all the spirits. An award winning freelance writer and photographer, Burst has more than 1,000 articles published and twice as many photographs on a local, regional and national level. And she has published five books in the last five years. Her birthplace of New Orleans was the impetus for her first book and the matriarch in the Sacred Places legacy. The famed city's sanctuaries, cemeteries and oak-filled parks will forever have a home in her work. An immense affection for her home state and forested wonderlands across America, she will continue her crusade to protect the environment. That is her mission: to bring passion and purpose to the page, to share both the beauty and the reality.
