Substantial numbers of Romanian immigrants came to Canada just after the turn of the century, and many of these early immigrants settled in Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Romanians reconstructed their homeland culture as best they could on the priaries, and preserved their ethnicity until recently. With the preservation of the culture came adaptation to the new setting, and this adaptation has modified the homeland culture and gradually diminished it. With rural-urban migration and the emergence of the fourth generation of Romanian-Canadians, assimilation is taking place.This book is an analysis of the forces of assimilation affecting Romanian immigrants to Saskatchewan from the turn of the century to the present.

This highly-anticipated companion volume to the best-selling Legacy of Stone: Saskatchewan's Stone Buildings combines brilliant colour images of the buildings people worship in with the fascinating stories of those places and people. Legacy of Worship profiles over 60 rural churches, representing 15 spiritual denominations. The writer/photographer team that brought you the award-winning Legacy of Stone has scoured the province for sacred places that illustrate the finest of Saskatchewan’s art and design. Rural religious gathering places often display the work of folk artists and craftspeople, as well as that of professional artists and architects; they are the last repository of primitive art and such crafts as weaving, metal-smithing, needlework and furniture making. This book presents sacred places that illustrate how beauty in any form inspires and nurtures the soul. They demonstrate the universal, eternal need for art and beauty, and the importance of valuing and protecting the religious heritage so important to our identity and our proud place in Canada.
