TUCSON, AZ
I love visiting old churches.
San Xavier del Bac is a Spanish Catholic mission, just south of Tucson on the Tohono O'odham Nation San Xavier Indian Reservation.
Again, with that BLUE Arizona sky!
The mission was founded in 1692 (whoa!), destroyed during an Apache raid in 1770, and rebuilt between 1783 and 1797. Given that Arizona was truly the Wild West back then, it's crazy to see how elaborately ornate the church is. The architecture is Spanish Colonial.
This is an active Roman Catholic church. Due to COVID, you're allowed just 5 minutes inside, with a view from the back only.
There are other buildings outside. Not sure what this building is, but LOVED the rosaries hanging on the gate. And the cactus-filled landscaping is pretty cool too.
Said a little prayer there, that God, our Father, keeps my family and friends happy, healthy, and safe.
