The Cradle of Christianity
The date of the building of this mission for the Pueblo
Indians is placed by some as early as 1541, by others as late
as 1607. There is reason to believe it aniedates the Gover-
nors Palace erected in 1605. as one of the Spanish priests of
that time complained that the Franciscan missionaries, in
their zeal to convert the pagan had built missions for them,
instead of churches for the Spaniards. During the Pueblo
Indian uprising in 1680, the church. together with its early
records, was burned. Its walls, however, were left intact.
and only slight repairs were necessary when the Spaniards
returned in 1692. It is still used as a place of worship. The
old sanctuary contains old bells, paintings, some of the old
hand carved beams, and many interesting and beautiful
religious articles of the early Spanish period, which are
explained by the sacristan in charge.
