Description
Note: 50% of the sale of this photograph will be donated to relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy victims. It is being featured in the Art for Hurricane Sandy Relief here on FAA.
Shown is the simple chapel entrance at Mission Espiritu Santo in Goliad, Texas.
Espiritu Santo, which translates, Holy Spirit, was established in in 1722 by the Franciscans. It was one of the most successful of the missions ministering the needs of Karankawa Indian tribes: the Cocos, Copanes, and Cujanes. In 1749, Mission Espiritu Santo was moved to what was to be its fourth, final, and most successful site, on the lower San Antonio River, near present day Goliad. Here, the mission cattle ranching operation reached its peak. Herds, by some accounts, reached 40,000 head. In the years to come, Mission Espiritu Santo, along with the Royal Presidio of La Bahia, and the town of La Bahia, was to become one of the most important settlements in Spanish Texas.
The mission buildings and grounds are now part of Goliad State Park administered by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Thanks for posting this image in the "Art For Hurricane Sandy Relief" group, and pledging a portion of your commission from now through the end of the year to the hurricane relief charity of your choice. Not only would this be a great piece for someone to have hanging in their home or place of business, but also, with the holidays fast approaching, it would also make be a terrific custom holiday card image!
