“Saint Mary's Cathedral Basilica holds a great historical and liturgical connection to the Church of Halifax. The church was built using wood at the initial stage, and a stone structure was placed in it by 1820. Over time, the church underwent expansion and alteration, reaching its present size beginning in 1869. The Gothic canopy above the tabernacle and the polychrome spire were part of the high altar from 1865-1965. Saint Mary's Cathedral Basilica also features Norman and Germanic design elements. In December 1917, the church suffered heavy damage, including shattered stained glass windows, during the Halifax Explosion. Saint Mary's Cathedral Basilica is an architectural masterpiece designated the National Historic Site of Canada.”
