From the towers of St. Cecilia’s Cathedral to the Buddhist statuary garden visible from North Omaha’s Sorensen Expressway, Omaha’s physical expressions of worship represent the world’s major faiths. Images of America: Omaha’s Historic Houses of Worship tells the story of how Omahans since the 1850s have created religious buildings and landmarks all over the city as expressions of their beliefs and identities. Images in this book include buildings in the National Register of Historic Places and on local landmarks lists. Through historical religious photographs, readers will learn the colorful tales of the buildings’ creations and see how today’s Omahans are building the next chapter in the ongoing story of the city’s religious landscape.
