We were ever so privileged to have enough time on one of our days here in Arizona and visit the San Xavier Mission. It was a beautiful building, and a great opportunity for good pictures. I'll share some with you.
Also, being here was quite an interesting experience. Apparently the Catholics had/have a book of Judith in their Bible. One lady looked at it, and looked up really confused. She then got my attention and asked me, "Is there a book of Judith in the Bible?" I said, "No." And she said, "I didn't think there was one in my bible back at home." :) Then she turned to me a minute later and said, "Are you Quaker?" :) I laugh now! No, we're not Quaker!
The outer part, obviously!
Soft light... ♥
I loved these windows! They are SO neat!
This was taken above the Mission. They had a little hill that you could walk up that overlooked the mission. They had their lions up there. They looked very picturesque. :) Notice the stormy looking sky in the background.
Steps :)
Outer walls
Interesting colors...
The ceiling of the building. So many paintings and such
Do you have any suggestions?
Wow, what neat pictures Emily! That looks like a neat place. Those kind of places {I'm not sure if I've ever been to one, but you know what I mean! ;)} are very interesting. I'm sure there is a lot of history that goes along with it. All of the photos are beautiful! I especially like the soft-light picture {it looks like a painting!}, stairway pictures, and the one with the lions, and the beautiful low-hanging, dark clouds! Very pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I didn't know the Catholics had a book of Judith! That's pretty funny. Quakers? ;)
I hope you're having a great day!
Love & Blessings,
