Synopsis "Hallowed Halls of Greater New Orleans: Historic Churches, Cathedrals and Sanctuaries"

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.

Anne Rice (New Orleans, October 4, 1941 - California, December 11, 2021) was a prominent American author, famous for revitalizing the gothic genre with her Vampire Chronicles series. Her best-known work, Interview with the Vampire (1976), marked the beginning of a saga that redefined the vampire myth by exploring themes of immortality, morality, and desire. With a deeply poetic and evocative style, Rice built dark worlds full of mystery, sensuality, and emotional complexity. Throughout her career, she published over 30 novels, including The Witching Hour and The Tale of the Body Thief.
Born in New Orleans, her hometown significantly influenced the atmosphere of her stories. Rice left a lasting impact on fantasy and horror literature, inspiring a new generation of writers and captivating millions of readers worldwide. Her literary legacy remains a pillar of contemporary gothic genre.
