The altar itself was discovered by Rololphe Messmer, an Austrian architect in France. He donated to the cathedral in 1994.
The Ciborium which covers the altar and is located under the dome was created in Rome in 1900 by Joseph-Arthur Vincent and is a reproduction of the famous one in St. Peter’s in Rome.
The Statues which atop the roof of the Cathedral represent the thirteen parishes of Montreal and again imitate those on St. Peter’s in Rome.
There are many treasures to see whilst there, there are many paintings, beautiful stained glass window and panels. The Great Organ was built by Casavant Freres and installed in 1893. The company also did the maintenance work in the 1950’s.
A truly wonderful Cathedral to visit.

st james cathedral, toronto, reflected in the hood of an art exhibit fake porsche
In the Toronto Sculpture Garden (a tiny park on King St, that shows one outdoor contemporary exhibit per month by local artists), the current exhibit titled "Upgrade" consists of a used economy sports car (a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire) "converted" with red vinyl skin & imitation leather upholstery into a 2007 Porsche, "an absurdist and economical means of obtaining a desirable and renowned object". The artist, it said, is attempting to address "longing" as a governing force in a consumption-oriented culture. The Sunfire sold, in 1998, for $3,990. A real Porsche sells for $169,500 !
The birds just loved this fountain on the grounds of St. James Cathedral. I couldn't resist taking a picture.

We are here in the historical old town of Sibenik in Croatia. The city was built by Croatians 1000 or more years ago, on steep terrain, near the place where the Krka River flows into the Adriatic Sea. The picture shows in the middle the Cathedral of Saint James (which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List). On the left is the entrance to Crkva Svi Sveti (church of all saints)
The photo was taken in the afternoon in extreme backlight, the sun is covered by the lamp. This made it necessary to adjust the brightness and contrast of the sky and foreground in post-processing.
