Collection Timeline

1596 to circa 1980

1596
In 1596, a small part of the Orthodox Church in what is Ukraine today joined with the Roman Catholic Church. This resulted in the establishment of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, one of the family of Eastern Catholic Churches. As part of their agreement with Rome, Ukrainians were assured that they would be able to maintain Eastern Rite or Orthodox practises ~ such as the particular way people make the sign of the Orthodox cross; married clergy; the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Chrismation and Holy Communion) being administered at the same time; and Eastern Rite Liturgies.

1900
The Gospel on the altar was printed around 1900 in Zhovkva (a city in present-day Ukraine) - on a printing press in the Basilian monastery. It was donated to the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic church, by Michael and Katheryn Mareniak, in 1914. The Gospel, of all church material of the time, is in the old Church Slavonic language. The kivot, or Tabernacle, is a miniature replica of the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Church that stands today. It was made by a member of the parish and normally sits on the altar in the church.

The processional fan and cross that mounted on the end of the pews inside the church date from the earliest years of the parish. These pews are also from the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic church. They have been refinished in honor of the parish’s centenary. The stained glass windows in the exhibit are from the original Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church, built in 1913.

Words from Ken Horechuk about the Barvinok dance group “Our dance group is named Barvinok. The name was suggested by my Baba Mary Horechuk because barvinok is a plant often mentioned in Ukrainian folklore. Our group was privileged to be chosen to perform at the opening of the Canada Games in Sydney’s (then) new Centre 200 in February 1987. I found funding to bring a dance instructor, Danovia Stechishin, from Toronto to help us prepare for the event. She created new dance choreography for us: a three-part hopak suited to the bizarre stage that was ten feet off the ground and shaped like a large plus sign with staircases entering each of the four ends. We taped the dimensions of the stage on the floor in the hall and practised twice a week for about two months. As the time approached for the opening of the Games, a schedule was arranged for all performers to practise on the stage that was temporarily set up in the old Sydney Forum adjacent to Centre 200. We were only allotted two sessions to familiarize our group to the elevated stage where it was arranged for rehearsals in an unheated old wooden building. The dress rehearsal on Saturday before the opening was a long day for all performers, as the production crew tweaked the program in preparation for the next day’s live per- formance. The opening on Sunday was to be telecast live on television across Canada. Our group arrived early at Centre 200 on Sunday to get ready for the opening. After a short practise, it was time to get our costumes and makeup on. You would get a good chuckle watching the guys “putting their face on”. Did the girls ever give us a hard time! Show time! We are next on the program... I still remember the group lining up beneath the seating area of Centre 200, hands shaking anxiously as we waited for our call to perform. The Scottish group before us performed a slow dance,‘Dark Island’, to the eerie sound of the bagpipes. They finished...lights dimmed...we climbed the staircase and literally shook waiting for the hopak music to start. The athletes and guests roared to our upbeat performance from beginning to end. Little did they know that on this stage were three approximately 6-inch by 6-inch square plugs where micro- phones were raised to the stage floor for vocal performances. The bouncing of the dancers kept popping the plywood plugs to below the stage where technicians frantically tried to keep them in place. Luckily nobody stepped on any of the holes. The dance ended to a rousing standing ovation. The accolades for the performance came from across Canada. The Cape Breton Post published one from Winnipeg. A lasting memory." -Ken Horechuk, October 2011 This golden dome was part of an award-winning float from the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Church in Sydney’s 1985 parade. These costumes are from the Barvinok Ukrainian Dancers of the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church in Sydney, NS. The pair of costumes with blue pants and vest is representative of the central Poltava region. The pair in the vests with bright colours and geometric shapes are costumes representative of the mountainous Hutsul region of Ukraine. These costumes, and many others, have been used in performances and parade floats by Sydney’s Ukrainian dancers. A woman’s hat, part of a Ukrainian dance costume of the region of Zakarpatia, or Transcarpathia. This costume item is from the 1980s era dance group.

Words from Steve Zwarun about the Madonna and Sacred Heart paintings “The two paintings presented here were rescued from a pile of debris in the basement of the church, destined for the Sydney landfill. It was by chance that Father Khrivoklavy, the pastor at that time, led me through the basement when he and his family were packing for their transfer to Ontario. I noticed some crumpled-up old brown paper on the floor ~ then I saw the canvas packing. Carefully opening the mass, which was covered in mould or mildew, revealed images of the Madonna and Sacred Heart. Realizing the possibilities, and having some experience with oil paintings, I asked Father Khrivoklavy if I could have them. Since they had been discarded, he saw no reason why not, and appeared surprised that I would even want them. There was another badly damaged painting ~ on cardboard and in an elaborately carved frame: perhaps it was ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Help’ ~ that was also buried in the trash. It was quite large, and regretfully at that time, I felt it was too large to bother with. Most likely it went to the landfill. It was some time later that I proceeded with the restoration. The canvases smelled from the mould, and were quite brittle. There were also some perforations, tears and creases, from the canvases being crumpled up for such a long time. Once the paintings were laid out flat and dried, there were bonded to a new and stronger canvas backing, then they were stretched on a frame. I started to proceed with the cleaning and restoration, but decided to leave them as they were. (Notice the small and brightened portion of the Madonna’s crown.) The years of candle smoke and incense had left their mark, and that added to the antique appearance of the first painting (Madonna). Similarly, the cracks and tears were also left as they were. The new linen liner (inner frame), which is in fact new, I stained with tea to look aged so that it would match the older lining. The antiqued frame is also new. The second painting (Sacred Heart) was recently cleaned, stretched and framed to match the Madonna painting (framing is expensive!). Since I have an older home with high ceilings, I am able to accommodate these large paintings. I feel that they are remarkable, not only for their appearance, but also for their historical significance. Eventually, when an appropriate location becomes available, I hope to return them to the parish. -Steve Zwarun, October 2011

Leon Dubinsky was born in 1941, in Sydney, NS. Growing up in Sydney and Whitney Pier, his mother and father ran a grocery store, and later a ship chandlery selling supplies to convoys. They were active members of the Jewish community their entire lives, encouraging extended family to attend synagogue and get involved musically. Rabbi Kenner, himself interested in opera, assembled a choir at the synagogue. Half of the the choir was composed of Dubinsky family members, including Leon's uncles, aunts and cousins. Leon joined when he was 9, along with his siblings. He grew up playing with musicians, and collaborated with prominent Cape Breton musicians such as Rita MacNeil and the Rankin family. Leon was also involved in theatre, studying for an MA in Illinois, and returning to the island to perform in musicals and Shakespeare, which he toured nationally. His music group recorded ten albums of original material, one a year, through the 70s and 80s. His song and arrangement for We Rise Again is certainly his most popular, and is sung internationally. Leon lives in Englishtown, performing regularly during Celtic Colours. In this interview, Leon discusses his family, his father's career, living in Sydney and Englishtown, his music, and the Jewish community through the years. This Interview was conducted over the phone in the fall of 2013 at Cape Breton University by Ely Rosenblum.

A soundscape composition of Sydney's downtown boardwalk. These recordings are an experiment of sonic ethnography that engages the listener with the soundscape of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Each soundmark, a term coined by R Murray Schafer, denotes the sound associated with a geographic locale. I encourage you to think in particular about the second soundmark of the waterfront: listen for the sound of the busking fiddler. It is not a live performance, but a recording played out of a speaker mounted in Sydney’s famous World’s Largest Fiddle. In the background we hear ships and the sounds of construction: the changing sonic landscape of a city trying to revive itself and survive in the wake of the shutdown of the steel plant and the coal mine, and reinvent itself as a historic landmark.

In May of 2014, I connected with several families based in the Toronto area and put together an exhibit of photos and sound recordings I found in private collections, many of which came from Shirley Chernin. The Centre for Imaginative Ethnography, York University graciously hosted the event, which coincided with the Canadian Anthropological Society Conference. The event brought together a diverse group of people: anthropologists, folklorists, ethnomusicologists, scholars of Jewish studies, members and former members of the Jewish community from Cape Breton. This exhibit is the site of my inquiry and curiosity. The space was not meant to be entirely self explanatory, nor complete, an invitation to discuss the growing historical account of Jewish life on the island. Dr. Marcia Ostashewski gave attendees a glimpse into the experiences of East and Central European communities on the island, with more similarities than differences amongst them. -Ely Rosenblum

Holy Ghost Ukrainian Church opened its doors in November of 1913. Although the original building (called the Holy Ghost Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church) burned down in 1933, it was rebuilt by the parish the following year. Today, it is the only Ukrainian church in Canada east of Montreal, and serves the largest Ukrainian community in Atlantic Canada.
