We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

Guido Nincheri (Profile) Whether the subject is the nativity scene or Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Nincheri's works are evocative portrayals of well-known biblical stories.

Nincheri, Guido (Profile) In the summer of 1993, art historian Ian Hodkinson wandered into Ottawa's Notre Dame Cathedral on Sussex Drive, looking to kill time before a meeting at the National Gallery of Canada. What he discovered amazed him - dramatic images blazing from stained-glass windows, each portraying a vivid scene from the Bible.

Kingston, Ont., noted the name of the artist, Guido Nincheri. He has since found that the Italian-born Nincheri was the most prolific religious artist in North America, producing stained glass and frescoes for more than 100 churches in Eastern Canada and New England. Between 1915 and his death in 1973 at age 87, Nincheri repeatedly affirmed his devotion to God and the style of the Renaissance, and his reputation spread from parish to parish. He was cited by Pope Pius XI in 1933 as the church's greatest artist of religious themes, and knighted by the Italian government in 1972.
