Synopsis: Richmond’s historic houses of worship cannot be separated from the city’s storied past. A young Patrick Henry sparked a revolution with his “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech inside St. John’s Episcopal Church on Church Hill. Congregation Beth Ahabah, with its awe-inspiring windows and adjoining museum, is one of the oldest and most revered synagogues in the country. An interstate highway was moved to save the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, where John Jasper asserted, “De Sun do move,” in the most famous sermon ever preached in the city. Beloved local author Walter Griggs Jr. tells the compelling history of Richmond’s most holy places.
