Saint Patrick's Cathedral, one of New York's greatest cathedrals, is located in Manhattan at 14 E. 51st St. The main reason the cathedral was built was to affirm the ascendance of religious freedom and tolerance. Thousands of poor immigrants and one hundred three prominent citizens helped pay contributions toward the church. The prominent citizens paid approximately one thousand dollars each.This cathedral supports the idea that not one single generation builds a cathedral, but rather the past, present, and future generations do.

Based on this approximate definition and some facts, an obvious conclusion can be made that Canada’s tourist destinations are constantly active. The hidden part of this conclusion, although very simple, is that without the natural tourist places that are a part of Canada’s natural landscape, the tourism sector would not be

The pilgrimage is indeed an amazing phenomenon, which brings people together at a common goal, which is believed to be the essence or starting point of life and the ‘door’ to the afterlife. As we will discover, pilgrimages require great sacrifice, both financially and physically. Pilgrimages may give the impression of an act that is traditional and not ‘fit’ for our modern world. However, one who has not walked the pilgrimage may never see the insight that the pilgrims themselves see. One fact is certain and striking. The numbers of pilgrims at the world’s major shrines are still increasing.

“Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,” said Gregory Chaucer in his book, The Canterbury Tales, meaning people long to go on religious pilgrimages. The act of pilgrimage during the Middle Ages had been a very popular and traditional practice in the Christian society. This visit to shrines or holy places was an act of religious devotion and played a role in the lives of many Europeans, especially those in the western regions of Medieval Europe. In order to understand the importance of pilgrimages, we will emphasize the purpose of pilgrimages, the diversity of pilgrims that took part in them, and the various shrines pilgrims visited.

A community which at times has a push-pull relationship with it’s vital tourism industry, has been essentially cutoff from the outside world, once again, rendering those who live here with both great challenges and the sense of a return to a bygone era.

St. Catherine was born in Sienna, Italy on March 25, 1347. She had 24 siblings, but most of them didn’t make it past childhood. Catherine’s sister died when she was 16. An idea by her parents came up about Catherine marrying her sister’s husband. She rejected the idea and began to fast and make herself look bad because it made her so mad. From this, she became more religious, but did not want to join a convent. Instead, she joined the Third Order of St. Dominic, which allowed her to become part of a religious group while still living at home with her family. Catherine’s family continually criticized her for giving away things without asking, but she put up with their complaints and kept giving to the poor. Giving to the poor was what she

Quebec is a hot-spot for immigrants and thousands of them come to Quebec to build a life for themselves and their families.

Culturally, the natives of the place are quite welcoming of immigrants and are accepting of their cultural diversity. From professional view-point, Quebec offers excellent opportunities in the sectors of IT, Telecom, Aviation and Aircraft, and other such fields.

Named the first female doctor of the church for her spiritual wisdom, Saint Catherine of Siena was a very influential and complex figure in the medieval period. Her character showed great faith but in contrast she was also very strong, stubborn, and extreme woman. In class we talked about how the lives of holy women were shaped through their visions, fasting, virginity, and prayer (pilgrimage, devotion). Women would vow their virginity and do charitable work for their devotion to the Lord. Prayer in the community formed active religious communities. Saint Catherine formed roles for herself that went against the ideals of holy women. As a young girl she imitate desert hermits and gave up food but would feed others. The roles of women back then were to get married, have children, and look after the home. This was an important and expected role for women so to take a vow of virginity was a big deal.

Tourism is an endeavour sought by an individual or a party of individuals, which leads to a movement from one place to another with the idealism of a specific task, to visit a place or several places with the primary purpose of achieving entertainment and increasing knowledge of countries, cultures, and their history. The expression ‘largest industry in the world’ is universally used with mention to tourism, ensuring its recognition as the largest generator of wealth (over 11.7% of the global gross domestic product) and employment (7% of the world’s jobs); this shows that tourism is indeed an important industry that depends on culture and legacy.(Budeanu, 2002) Vancouver is feasibly one of the most prevalent tourist destinations in Canada
