Cathedral of the Transfiguration, Byzantine Revival cathedral in Markham, Canada
The Cathedral of the Transfiguration contains three towers rising above residential neighborhoods, with its central tower reaching 210 feet in height.
Pope John Paul II blessed the cornerstone and altar stone of the cathedral in 1984, marking the first papal blessing of a church in North America.
The cathedral served as a religious center for Slovak Catholics in Toronto, representing their commitment to faith after immigrating from Eastern Europe.
The cathedral stands north of Major Mackenzie Drive and Highway 404, within a 225-acre planned community called Cathedraltown.
The central Tower of Transfiguration houses three bronze bells cast by Paccard Foundry in France, forming one of the largest bell peals worldwide.
