san francisco de asis mission church印象

Before we went to Taos we saw this church in the work of Georgia O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams as well as others. It is a fascinating church - architecturally and historically. The inside is both beautiful and worshipful. This is an active and vibrant Catholic parish and the ladies at the church are very helpful with information about the church. They said it was a popular destination for tourists, pilgrims and artists. Additionally, the church possesses a painting - "The Shadow of the Cross" by Henry Ault. This is, to me, a spiritually significant painting and I recommend that any who visit the church take the time to view the painting (in a separate building for a $3 charge).

We drove from Santa Fe to spend the day in Taos. Our first stop was this beautiful church. It sits on the main street into town but the front of the church doesn't face that street. You must drive down a side street to reach the parking in front of the mission. It is a lovely adobe church done in the traditional adobe with the straw quite visible. It is small but has lovely proportions which probably why it was the subject of so many artists' paintings and photographs - most famously by Georgia O'Keeffe. Inside the wooden pews are dark with no cushions. The murals on the wall are beautiful to see. There was a family having their baby boy baptized when we were there so we sat near the rear of the church to share in their joy. It made the whole visit so much more memorable. There is a small gift shop in an adjacent building where you can buy many different items related to St. Francis of Assisi. We loved this church and its architecture and history.

This is the oldest Adobe Mission in New Mexico. It was built in 1813 and still is an active church to this day! You must see the portrait of Jesus on the Sea of Galilee and visit the Shadow of the cross

It has a nice garden in front of church. The sky is always blue whenever I visit this church. It is so nice to have blue sky as the background of the church with photo.

This famous mission is well worth a visit for the beautiful adobe work. The water catchment systems are intriguing for an engineering buff and the beautiful carved doors will never disappoint. The area around the mission also has some beautiful adobe homes and some great little galleries and shops.

We were walking in Taos and literally stumbled upon this gem. It's an Adobe Mission built in 1813 and still an active church to this day! There is a portrait of Jesus on the Sea of Galilee, which we found interesting as we were just there a few months ago and looks like it was painted there and transported here as it's so authentic looking. Hard to imagine an artist painting it from memory. Anyhow, if in Taos it's a nice visit.

Not really much to say other than its an impressive church. The outside walls are made with clay and grass and the inside has had an extension but for the most part it is true to character. The grounds are very minimal but a nice historic church to visit.

As one of the oldest Missions in New Mexico, this Rancho de Taos historic masterpiece must be seen. The Retablos inside are magnificent and don't forget to visit the famous "Shadow of the Cross" next door in the Church Office.

The church has substantial religious and artistic historical value. As it currently stands, there is not much to see.

This is a beautiful adobe mission church. Unfortunately, the day we visited, the church was not open. Was told by a shop owner that the priest recently survived a heart attack and closed the church on Mondays and Tuesdays due to therapy. What a blessing to survive a heart attack! If you enjoy visiting historical mission churches, I don't think you will be disappointed. Beautiful.
