Old Oak Tree Mission San Jose

As we walk in through the outer walls into the very large courtyard of the Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo in San Antonio, Texas, you can easily imagine stepping back into history. The wide open spaces gave a clear idea of what it was like when these missions were first established in Texas. Mission San Jose has maintained it's openness and history well.

Mission San Jose is known as the "Queen of the Missions". Many stories took place at this Mission, as well as the other Missions in the Historical Park. The historic walls and grounds were beautifully restored to give us a view of how the missions operated - a sustainable community built around the church, with houses, water supply systems, gardens and barns. San Jose Mission in San Antonio, Texas makes it easy to understand the concept of mission communities, as these were not stand-alone missions, but walled medieval communities.

Mission San Jose is an incredible source of history for anyone interested in what the landscape here looked like before everything that followed.

Holy Spirit Cathedral San Fernando, San Antonio TX

The cornerstone of the San Fernando church building in the new village of San Antonio, Texas was laid in 1738, making it the first parish church in Texas. The church was completed in 1749 and the original walls still stand today forming what is now the sanctuary (the area around and behind the altar) of the present cathedral.

These walls are the oldest standing structure in the State of Texas. The dome of the original church was the geographic center of the city and the point from which all mileage was calculated to San Antonio. In 1868 the eastern wall, including the original tower, the front of the church, the choir loft and baptistry were torn down to make room for the French Gothic building which is now the main body of the cathedral. This work was completed in 1873. Stained glass windows were added in 1920.

Symphonies, concerts, and television specials are but a few of the special events held in the Cathedral of San Fernando regularly. Hundreds of people enter the cathedral daily to pray, visit, light a candle, or follow various devotional traditions. Each person is a part of the story of this magnificent place and a tribute to its enduring presence as the spiritual center of San Antonio.

St. Francis Of Sales And St. Monica

Stained Glass Window San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas
Here:
St. Francis of Sales (left) and
St. Monica (right)

San Fernando de Béxar (now San Antonio) was founded in 1731 between the San Antonio River and San Pedro Creek, to the east of the presidio established at the same location in 1718.

Constructed in 1738, San Fernando de Béxar Cathedral in San Antonio is the oldest continuously working church in the State of Texas. The Cathedral building is Texas' oldest standing church building and served as the church for both the Spanish and Mexican governments prior to Texas' gaining independence. It has always been at the center of San Antonio. Some of the Heroes of the Alamo have been entombed in one of the chapels.

From its founding, this church retains the love of the San Antonians. Recently renovated, the stations of the Cross and the Altar, along with much of the art work, are extraordinary.

Sunflowers In A Basket

Sunflower is one of the few crop species that originated in North America. It was probably a "camp follower" of several of the western native American tribes who domesticated the crop and then carried it eastward and southward of North America. The first Europeans observed sunflower cultivated in many places from southern Canada to Mexico.

Sunflowers are annuals with showy, daisylike flowerheads that are usually 2-4 inches across and bright yellow (though occasionally red). Tall and course, the plants have creeping or tuberous roots and large, bristly leaves. Today, varieties have even been developed for small spaces and containers. Most sunflowers are remarkably tough and easy to grow as long as the soil is not waterlogged. Most are heat- and drought-tolerant, and many are attractive to bees and birds.

The Sunflower makes an excellent cut flower. It provides a bright splash of sunny color to a home, whether inside or out, and makes cheerful spring and summer centerpieces. Sunflowers are gestures of goodwill and friendship, making them perfect gifts for any friend or loved one having a tough day.
