Trip to San Xavier Mission in Tucson

The San Xavier Mission in Tucson Arizona is a look into the desert's past

Located south of Tucson heading towards the U.S. Mexico border, the mission is one of the finest examples of colonial European architecture in the world.

Renovations are ongoing to keep the church in glorious condition for the many visitors and pilgrims.

The front of the mission faces Mexico to the south. The mission's beautiful white exterior would have been the first sight many pilgrims traveling north would have seen coming out of the desert.
