Montréal’s Religious Heritage: On the Mountainside, a digital chapter taken from the guide Discovering Montréal’s Religious Heritage, is your invitation to discover all the diversity and beauty of the religious heritage of Montréal and its environs. In full colour and lavishly illustrated with magnificent photos, this one-of-a-kind guidebook reveals the secrets of an exceptionally rich heritage unequalled anywhere else in North America. <br /> This tour unveils the religious heritage of Mount Royal, or as Montrealers simply call it, “the mountain.” We'll begin at a Greek Orthodox cathedral, and then visit a place of learning, the chapel-turned-theology library at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf. Next, we'll discover one of the country's greatest religious gems, Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal. The second part of the tour takes place outdoors and explores the mountain from its urban cemeteries. <br /> Conceived for pilgrims whose journeys are prompted by their faith as well as those drawn by art, architecture, and history, Montréal’s Religious Heritage: On the Mountainside shines a light on Montréal’s rich religious heritage, both ancient and modern. It also spotlights successfully converted religious buildings that have been given a new lease on life.
