This reminds me of one of your other video "woman wanted stairs and window to see her daughter" This is a amazing i learn something new from your videos.
Wendy, yes it reminded me of this Lady too
I remember that one her daughter was scared of storms
I was just going to say that when i saw yours.
Lol I just came from that video. It gave me the recommendation for this one
nothing like wandering around an old cemetery and pondering life and how short it really is.
It's nice to see home after living in fl for the past 30 years . Loved fishing Prince Gallitzin lake
Great video Chris. Extremely interesting. Love historical things like this. Keep them coming.
Very cool. I’m live in PA and have never heard about this. Thank you so much for sharing.
Always amazed by your videos. This is 30 minutes from my home. Same with Johnstown. Thank you for taking the time to visit forgotten America.
Just discovered you, can't stop watching your videos. I can't go on my own adventures right now, so I'm just going to go with you. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
These are addicting.
You have a great channel. Always look forward to the videos!
Thanks Chris, what a cool find, thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
Awesome story and keep up the great work Chris !
Fr. (Prince) Gallitzin is known as The Apostle to the Alleghenies(the mountains of that region of Pennsylvania). He evangelized there in the wilds of West Central Pennsylvania. His mother was a princess from Hessen, a part now of Germany. His father was of Russian nobility. I visited that crypt a few times. Near there is Prince Gallitzin State Park. It’s a beautiful area.
Interesting video, as usual, Chris. I looks like a nicely kept cemetery and the church is quite beautiful (I'd love to see the interior). I didn't expect to see an actual coffin/sarcophagus, though! I was expecting to find a shrine in front of a sealed wall. I wonder how I'd feel if I'd been there and really descended into the chamber. Many years ago, a friend moved from our little village to a nearby medium-sized city and when I spent a weekend in his new family home, he revealed he'd found some cool places to play our usual war games. It was the early '50s, we were 11-12 at the time, fascinated by WW2 and the Korean "Police Action" and scrambling all over the place reenacting war scenes from movies, TV, and comic books. One of his cool sites was, in his words, "a cool cave," like ones we'd seen in a couple of movies about setting up hideouts in behind the lines operations, such as "Captain Carey, U.S.A," starring Alan Ladd. It wasn't much, just a grassy hillock in the middle of a cemetery containing an underground chamber with a wall like the one I mentioned above. I had an altogether _too_ active an imagination, for after being in there only a couple of minutes, I wanted _out_ in no uncertain terms! He still kidded me about it, almost 70 years later. Stay safe, everybody.
Thank you for sharing, Chris.
Outstanding that Chris’s curiosity results in such a fascinating video vignette for everyone. Always a delight and enlightening, something to look forward to with each new posting.
Tremendous story. Beautiful scenes. Your inimitable style remains the best. Thank you so much.
Gosh, so fascinating ! Thank you!
Thanks for showing the historical sites from where I grew up! 😇❤️
Woah.. I've never seen a tomb/ crypt all out like that in the open. How trusting of them to do so he must have be well loved & respected. ThnkU for this experience woulda luuv'd to see this in person.
Interesting story to go along with the beautiful scenery. LOVE it
Always a good tour..Thank you for the effort
I wish you still made longer videos. These 5 min videos are like a tease.
I have to say to you sir. You have a doppelganger. Every time I see your videos I think " you have to be Martin". You look just like my old boss. Love your videos !
Pretty interesting! I recognized the names Loretto and Gallitzin as I've driven by those towns on route 22 a bunch of times but never knew the history behind them.
What cemetery is this and where in pa
@@charleskillen3025 St Michael Cemetery in Loretto, about an hour east of Pittsburgh
@@charleskillen3025 for perspective, Gallitzin is just west of the famous Horseshoe Curve built by the Pennsylvania Railroad, which acts as an approach to the Gallitzin Tunnels that allows Norfolk Southern's freight and Amtrak's "Pennsylvanian" passenger trains to pass through the Allegheny Ridge.
Thanks Chris, love the history & love your videos!
These videos are a historical and educational and I’ve been learning from them thank you!!
Chris thanks for the great travelogues i’ve recently came around your channel and the content is great

Yes, I grew up near Loretto, Pa. and actually attended St. Michael's School and Church years ago...
My mother, Peg actually worked at Prince Gallitzen's Chapel house for several years and retired as Secretary of St. (Basilica of) Michael's some 10+ years ago...
My father, Joe was buried at St. Michael's last October 2020...
My son, Joey really enjoyed your video on Prince Gallitzen!
Thanks!
Wow, pretty cool but creepy at the same time. Thanks for the adventure 👍👍 Take Care 😃
Very interesting and another great job!!! Thanks so much!!!! Pat
Very interesting tour! Thanks so much.
Been there several times. That large convent was Charles Schwab’s summer home
Charles Schwab the Steel Barron Not stock broker 😊
Thank you Chris. Great video.
Great video Chris. Love American History.
Interesting! Never heard about this before. Thank you for telling about this.
Who would have thought a Prince would be buried here? Thanks for showing it. I could never get that far North otherwise.
Very interesting historical site, love these videos. I don't know what happened, but I was subscribed, and had to redo it. I just happened to come across this, and wondered why I was not notified, weird.
Looks like they have a Stations of the Cross walkway.
Awesome story bro. Keep up the great videos!!!
Wow. Thank God people were respectful to his tomb.
Thank you for doing these type of videos a job well done
I like this. Thanks. For posting.
Beautiful church!! Not sure how i got here but was interesting..thank you for posting..
WOW so amazing!! Thank you for the video!!
Thanks Chris. I am showing this to my students. :-)
Great video. Thank you!
The prince is Prince Gallitzen. He wanted to be a priest. His dad disowned him. Only priest onhorseback between Philadelphia and Gallitzen. He was ordained in the US. Wish you would have practiced your pronunciation first. I prayed for him for my cancer. I am here! Vatican was investigating him for sainthood till some priests decided he wasn't good enough. Politics will kill you or hold you back.
This is just amazing - thank you for this wonderful history of my Faith Tradition!
I've just found your channel and I'm obsessed!!😍 Totally binge watching! Xx
🥰
Aww thank you!😍😍
@@clairexxx7473 very welcome

Paranormal prince priest back in early 1800s need a movie on this!
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you .
Absolutely magnificent place Chris🌟A paranormal Prince!! A man after my own heart💙! So thankful his crypt wasn’t desecrated 🙏🏻So Respectful.
Thank you for sharing
My preparation for my interview brought me here..joke😂 great narration sir.., I don't know but I just found myself watching this kind of stuff there is a calming and entertaining vibe.... Nice way to spend time.... Keep up the good work,,😄
Chris, it was so great watching this video. So interesting. Safe travels.
Thank you for another fascinating place I didn't know existed. Now I am off to do some research.
That is a bit of a crazy find! Wow!! ❤ For that crypt to be wide open to anyone and everyone is amazing! And no graffiti artists have touched it, either. Maybe he didn't like darkness, and this is how he got around that fear. You do find the unique and interesting parts of our world!! ❤
That was very interesting thankyou for sharing
Great story Chris!
Good video . Thanks. I lived near a Revolutionary War cemetery in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. There are lots descendants of Rus princes in Pennsylvania. (His name is Prince Gal - IT - zen, not GAL it zen.)
Truly amazing thank you for sharing 😊 🙏
Chris, 👍👍👍!
Cool video! Thank you!
Very very cool. Thanks 😁
I am amazed there is no water down there.
Wonderful! Thank You
How do you find out about all these interesting places you visit and their facts? I love all the stuff u share even if it's something i don't think I'd find intriguing. I'd love for you to do one on a spot in east Tennessee if you ever pass this way. It's Chilhowee Park! It's over 100 years old, and our annual fair takes place there every September. The HUGE exhibition building burned down in the late 1930s, and photos can be found of the building engulfed. A bandstand still remains in place well after 100 yrs to serve as the introduction piece to our annual fair. It's really fascinating. Not to mention, they filmed part of October Sky there.
Very interesting and cool. Thanks for sharing!
For Pennsylvania, a church built a little over a hundred years ago isn't old. I live in a building in NYC built in 1907 and it's not unusual. Too bad Americans tend to destroy buildings of the past, which is a shame because we often erase history with it.
Wow! Very cool video
What an amazing place and so very well taken care of.
Funny how rich guys like Schwab think that building a church will get them into heaven he should have paid his workers more that's how you get in
I wonder how that vault keeps from flooding. Divine intervention?
So interesting.
The church is now referred to as a basilica (St. Michael's). Fun fact, I got married there in 1986.
It was named after St. Michael the Arc Angel who is the Patron Saint of Russia.
Hello Chris, thanks for showing the princes tumb. Where have you been ? Have you been putting out videos? The reason I asked is because I have not saw you, hope you are doing fine be bless.
Hi I love your videos love this
That seems an ancient underground tunnel system,sealed off.
Really neat thanks for sharing
Wow!!! Crazy
Is your pronunciation of the Prince’s surname correct as Gallitin? Just wondering, because I noticed it spells Gallitzin. Great video Chris 👍🏻🥰‼️
He did pronounce it wrong.
@@mickkrug2648 …I thought so.
Yes, pronounced: Ga-Lit-zen 😊
@@mickkrug2648 … I was wondering how it was actually pronounced. Thanks!
That's awesome
I’m surprised the body hasn’t been ransacked by vandals being that the crypt is left open like that.
So cool. I love stuff like this. After all...I am the grave guy
I just drove past there last night going to Saint Francis
I’ve lived here within 30 miles of here. Been on the Schwab estates but never knew about the crypt. I’ve got to take a trip up there.
not the only royalty burried in the USA. the heirs to the last emperor of mexico are burried in the east coast. related to the first emperor but dynastically adopted by the last emperor (habsburg)
Very nice video 👍
I’m pretty sure there are no remains in there for fear that they would be stolen or vandalized. I think it’s just an empty coffin
Actually, no.Prince Gallitzin is in that coffin!
Thank you! You're doing God's work now! 😀 Your personality is perfect, really enjoy your easy-going down-to-earth thing you have going on. Great fan of your channel and thanks again.
Very interesting, thank you. Was that a stone or cement made Sarcopaghus? or was it his coffin?
It look like there was a glass viewing window probably put there around the time it was feared to be put in the casket and wake up after being presumed dead with the glass viewing window there was a chance people would be seen moving had that happen!
Some peoples honored the prince by putting dandelion on his sarcofagus, how sweet!
Did u get to check out the quarry in Pennsylvania? It's in Nottingham park
Very cool!
I'm surprised that there was Graffiti damage to the Prince's Crypt.
I’m not. There is a college near there with a bunch of drunks.
That was so cool
this guy has a balls of steel
Hope everything is alright.
