Walsh County, ND Listed: 06/02/1994 St. Joseph's Chapel is significant under Criterion A for its associations with the Polish community which settled in and around eastern Walsh County in the vicinity of Pulaski Township beginning in 1873. It is also significant under Criterion C because it is an unusual and fairly elaborate example of the property type (wayside shrine) and has a strong architectural character representative of the period. It is located five miles east of the town of Warsaw. This area of the Red River Valley was settled by Polish immigrants from the predominantly Roman Catholic Galician area of southeastern Poland. The Polish pioneers brought with them the pious custom of erecting wayside shrines or crosses, of which St. Joseph's chapel is a type and the largest and most elaborate one to be erected in the area. Seven extant wayside wooden crosses are known to exist in the area, but the chapel is the only building constructed as a wayside shrine. Unlike the crosses where passers-by would stop and say a prayer, St. Joseph's Chapel also functioned as a place for a priest to bless the crops and pray for a good harvest after Spring planting. Such services have been conducted, usually in June, since the shrine was erected in 1907. It is significant, at least through the fifty year benchmark of eligibility as the singular property associated with an ethnic, agricultural ritual celebrated by the Polish community each year since its construction.

The Cross is arguably the most familiar symbol of Christianity, but nowhere is this iconography as crucial or culture-entrenched, as it is in Armenia. Armenians have often been called people of the cross and their land; the land of the cross. Wherever you go, thousands of khachkars, or Armenian cross-stones, pervade the mountainous conscience of […]
