Church of the Holy Name, Toronto
The Church of the Holy Name in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is a church. The Church of the Holy Name exists on The Danforth as a visible presence of the historical past. The Church serves as a testament to the enduring and almost unchanging nature of God's presence within the community over the years.
Historically, Danforth Avenue started off as a sleepy by way, with large stretches of open fields. The dirt road became dusty in the summer and muddy during wet weather. Over time the Danforth streetscape evolved to consist of scattered houses, the odd church, most notably Church of the Holy Name, and the occasional hotel (Myrvold, 1992).
It is evident that over the years, the Church of the Holy Name has remained an architectural landmark and a statement of faith along Danforth Avenue. They used to call Toronto, The City of Churches, back when spires, crosses, bell towers, and triumphal arches dominated the Toronto’s developing skyline. (Macfarland, c2008.)
