THIS IS A WONDERFUL PROGRAM

HAVE IT EVERY DAY IN OUR WORLD
WHERE WE'RE RUSHING AROUND AND
MAYBE AFTER COVID AND ALL OF THE
PANDEMIC LIMITATIONS, PLACES WE

IN WAYS WE USED TO.
SO THE PERSPECTIVE THAT THIS
PROGRAM BRINGS US ABOUT THE WAY
PLACES MAKE US FEEL, THE THOUGHT
THAT GOES INTO HOW WE EXPERIENCE
THE SPIRITUAL MOMENTS OF OUR
LIFE IS REALLY SATISFYING TODAY
AND EVERY DAY.
AND THAT'S WHAT PBS WISCONSIN

NEXT SEGMENT OF THIS SHOW.
on.
(bells ringing)
The possibility to play delicately,
the possibility to produce all sorts
of suggestive intricate sounds.
- [Narrator] Bells have been a part of church architecture
for centuries.
In times past, church services were the only weekly event
that required everyone to show up
at a specific time and place.
And the best way to get a community in sync
was to ring a bell.
The higher the bell was mounted,
the further the sound would travel.
In playing carillons around the country,
David Johnson has seen his share of very high church towers,
some he hopes never to see again.
- You get inside the piece of the building
that is a tower and literally climb straight up a wall
with what amount to steps in a ladder.
I'd call it terrifying.
- [Narrator] While bell towers can reach dizzying heights,
many are topped with an architectural feature
that reaches even higher: a steeple.
Why do so many churches have steeples?
Are they symbolically pointing the faithful to God above?
Partly, but there is also another purpose.
- The steeple and the tower of the church
actually marks its presence in the midst of a community.
Back in the day when we didn't have maps
or maps weren't readily available,
you could identify the town by the presence of the steeple.
- If you're trying to make a statement
and you're trying to put yourself onto a landscape
within an urban environment or wherever it might be...
you're going to go for height.
- [Narrator] For many decades, the tallest steeple
in America was New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral,
towering above anything else in the city
in the era before skyscrapers.
- St. Patrick's, the spires are 330 feet high.
At the time that they're built,
they're the tallest things
other than the Washington Monument in the country.
That's tall.
- [Narrator] No city exemplifies the competitive quest
for height more than Philadelphia in the mid-1800s,
which was home to something of a steeple arms race,
each congregation driving to outdo the other.
- They're saying we're here, we have the tallest steeple,
we're in important congregation.
You newcomers should be a member of our church
because of that.
- [Narrator] To win the steeple war in Philadelphia,
Tenth Presbyterian Church hired the architect known
as the king of tall steeples, John McArthur.
McArthur would later become famous for designing
the tallest building in the country,
City Hall in Philadelphia,
which held the title until it was eclipsed
by the Washington Monument.
McArthur's steeple masterpiece was built
to tower 248 feet above the street.
In an era before modern steel,
it was unclear how to best engineer a structure
25 stories high.
Building the steeple with stone would be too expensive,
so McArthur settled on timber,
even though wood had not been tested
at such extreme heights.
(wind howling)
In a 1912 windstorm, the steeple was destroyed.
Only the base exists today.
It was a fate that was all too common in the race
for the tallest steeples in America,
as engineering had not get caught up with ambition.
- It was a height war.
At some point it was not going to work anymore.
- So there are many stories of many churches
in the earlier days where they're ggoing to uild
the biggest spire of the all until they don't,
and it comes tumbling down.
(thunder clapping)
- [Narrator] In 1878, a single storm toppled
over 50 church steeples along the eastern seaboard.
While steeples are largely a Christian design,
domes of a much broader history,
used for synagogues and mosques, as well.
All domes connect back to the Pantheon in Rome,
built in 126 A.D.
It was a stupendous achievement, measuring 142 feet across,
half of a football field.
No one would build a bigger dome for a thousand years.
The Pantheon was a religious building
dedicated to the Roman gods.
When Christianity became popular,
many Christian houses of worship continued the tradition
of including domes.
Most famously, St. Peter's in Rome,
home of the Catholic Church.
- It's really with the design of St. Peter's in Rome,
back in the early 1500s, all of a sudden you're like,
wait a minute.
Now the dome, the dome is the thing.
- [Narrator] In America, the United States Capitol building
was modeled on St. Peter's,
and stood as the largest dome in the country for decades.
But of course, the US Capitol is not a church.
St. Josaphat is a church,
and its don't was touted as second only
to the capitol in size.
St. Josaphat was the brainchild of a blacksmith
turned priest named Wilhelm Grutza,
who wanted Milwaukee, Wisconsin to have a replica
of Rome's St Peter's.
- And then of course, for Catholics with St. Peter
being the most important church in Catholicism,
why wouldn't you try to recreate that if you could?
- [Narrator] But how could Grutza make it
affordable enough to build?
The stonework, especially, would be prohibitively expensive.
Early in the process, Grutza came up with
an ingenious cost-saving idea.
He bought the condemned post office in downtown Chicago
for pennies on the dollar.
- Then they found out that a building was going down
in Chicago and they got the stone on the cheap for that.

TIFFANY'S STAINED GLASS, BUT WE
DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL
SIDE OF THE BUSINESS THEY TOOK
ON AND THE MISSION THEY TOOK ON
TO CREATE THESE INCREDIBLE
WINDOWS, KNOWING THAT THE
QUALITY AND THE TEMPER OF THE
LIGHT STREAMING INTO THESE
SACRED PLACES WAS INFLUENCING
PEOPLE AND IMPACTING THEM AND
RAISING THEIR SPIRIT AND
FOCUSING THEM IN WAYS THAT
REGULAR LIGHT COULDN'T DO.

I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED "SECRETS
OF SACRED ARCHITECTURE" AS MUCH
AS WE HAVE HERE IN THE STUDIO.
THIS IS JUST AN AMAZING PROGRAM,
SO ILLUMINATING AND SO
INSPIRING.
I LOVE THE QUOTE ABOUT
MANIFESTING BELIEFS IN
BUILDINGS.
AND THESE IMPORTANT, IMPORTANT
BUILDINGS, SO IMPORTANT TO
PEOPLE OF FAITH, PROBABLY THE
MOST IMPORTANT BUILDING IN THEIR
LIVES.
AND THE BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED
TO DEEPEN THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO
THEIR RELIGION AND THEIR
SPIRITUALITY.
AND THEY TELL A STORY.
AND THE BUILDINGS USE BRICK AND
MORTAR AND STONE AND GLASS AND
LIGHT AND EVEN GARGOYLES TO TELL
STORIES.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE DO AT PBS
WISCONSIN.
WE TELL STORIES THAT ARE
IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE JUST LIKE
YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS AND YOUR
CHILDREN AND YOUR FAMILIES.
THAT'S WHY PBS WISCONSIN IS
HERE, IS TO MANIFEST BELIEFS IN
PROGRAMMING.

DIFFERENT STYLES OF ARCHITECTURE
THERE WERE ACROSS VARIOUS
RELIGIONS AND HOW CHANGES IN
SOCIETY CAUSES CHANGES IN THE
DESIGN OF THESE CATHEDRALS.
HOW THE GOTHIC MOVEMENT WANED

SPORTS, TO HAVE COFFEE, TO HEAR
MUSIC.

TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE

BEST FOOD IS FOOD THAT'S COOKED
WITH LOVE.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO POUR
THEMSELVES INTO THE WORK THEY DO
TO CREATE THESE CRAFTS, THESE
ARTISANAL PIECES OF ART.
IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE THEM
EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH THE
ART THEY ENJOY.
SOME OF THIS YOU CAN ENJOY IN
YOUR OWN HOME BY MAKING A GIFT
AS AN EXPRESSION OF THESE
ARTISTS' PASSION.
BUT PBS WISCONSIN IS THE SAME
WAY.
PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE DON'T COME
TO WORK.
THEY COME TO FULFILL A MISSION.

INTEREST, YOUR NEEDS, TO INSPIRE
YOU, TO CREATE EVERY DAY AND TO
BRING YOU PROGRAMS THAT ARE
IMPORTANT TO YOU AND THAT STICK

THAT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE OF

>> OVER THE YEARS, PBS WISCONSIN
HAS HAD MANY PROGRAMS ABOUT THE
GENIUS OF DA VINCI, OFTEN ABOUT
HIS PART, THE TECHNOLOGY HE
INVENTED.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE INVENTOR.
AND HE INVENTED A MACHINE AND
ONE WAS MADE OVER 400 YEARS AGO.
HE DIDN'T MAKE IT BUT HE
INVENTED IT.
AND THIS IS A PRODUCT OF HIS
MIND AND HIS INVENTIVENESS AND
THE MARK OF THE FAMILY TODAY.
SO FOR 400 YEARS AGO TO TODAY,
THROUGH THE MAGIC OF PBS
WISCONSIN, WE PUT A REAL
PERSONAL STAMP ON THE IMPACT OF
AN ARTIST WE'VE KNOWN AS
DA VINCI.
WE'VE KNOWN MORE FOR HIS ART AND
MAYBE IN THE ABSTRACT.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST IN THE
ABSTRACT.
TODAY'S WORLD CREATED IN
SIGNIFICANT WAYS BY AN ARTIST
LONG SINCE DEAD AND BROUGHT TO
YOU EVERY DAY BY PBS WISCONSIN.
THAT'S THE MAGIC OF PUBLIC
TELEVISION.
AND THE REAL MAGIC OF PUBLIC
TELEVISION IS THAT IT'S
SUPPORTED BY YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE
YOU.
MAKE YOUR GIFT TODAY, WON'T YOU?
>> THE REAL MAGIC OF PUBLIC
TELEVISION, AGAIN, SUPPORTED BY
VIEWERS LIKE YOU.
