South of Tucson, Arizona in the middle of seemingly nowhere stands the San Xavier Mission. No other mission that I have visited has given me the such a sense of how the missions must have felt in the 1700's. Part of the reason is the way it stands in the landscape. It is fairly close to the interstate, yet it feels isolated and barren on the outside. The inside is a different matter. It was extravagant in it's light, color and ornamentation. |
