Description
Holy Name Cathedral Chicago 04.
Holy Name Cathedral A Roman Catholic Parish.
735 North State Street Chicago, Illinois.
Note: This is just one of over 50 photographs in my FAA Chicago Holy Name Cathedral gallery.
We all know that most photographic shoots start out by analyzing the current lighting conditions.
During this June photo shoot the sunlight was very bright as it past through the beautiful Stained Glass windows.
Instead of trying to control the existing light to give me the typical interior images of this Gothic Cathedral I decided to flood the image with the colorful lighting.
=====
The Parish was started in 1843.
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroys the building.
A New cornerstone is laid on July 19, 1874.
On Nov 21st 1875 the new Cathedral of the Holy Name is dedicated by Bishop Foley.
1880 Chicago is elevated to archdiocese status.
1903 James Edward Quigley, bishop of Buffalo, installed as Archbishop of Chicago.
November 1998 November 1999: Holy Name Cathedral Parish celebrates its 150th Jubilee Year as a parish, which includes 125 years as Chicagos cathedral.
In February, 2008, a sizable piece of the ceiling broke off and fell to the church floor. Engineers determined a total structural repair of the ceiling was needed, as well as restoration to the 32 columns supporting the roof. The church was closed for seven months while workers meticulously restored and refitted every square foot of the ornate ceiling.
February 4, 2009, a fire was discovered in the church roof. The blaze destroyed much of the previous restoration and left the Cathedral with severe water damage.
These images where taken on a beautiful June 2016 day.
