A Bible-themed garden on the grounds of a temple hosting Western Pennsylvania's oldest Jewish congregation. It features over 100 Biblical plants and representations of Biblical landscapes, such as deserts, the River Jordan, and the Dead Sea. It's the largest garden of its kind in North America. Because Biblical flora grow in Mediterranean and desert climates, most of the plants are removed during the cold months and returned when it's warm; therefore, the garden is only open during the summer.
The Rodef Shalom Biblical Botanical Garden in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Shadyside section is a Biblical botanical garden.

Located on the grounds of the Cathedral of Learning, this chapel was built with funds left to the school by H.J. Heinz (of ketchup fame). The French Gothic Revival nondenominational chapel features 23 amazing stained-glass windows by Charles J. Connick, the largest single collection of his work. The windows total approximately 4,000 square feet (370 m2) and contain nearly 250,000 pieces of glass with 391 identifiable people from religion, history, science and the humanities, and the transept windows are reputedly the world's tallest such windows. Free tours may allow one sample the acoustics of the 3,770 pipe organ, and concerts and recitals are typically held on Sundays. See the website for calendar.
