Mission ~ by Linda

This is Mission Espiritu Santo in Goliad. The full name is Mission Nuestra Senora de la Bahia del Espiritu Santo de Zuniga. It is a Catholic mission established by the Spanish in 1722. It was moved three times, finally established at its current location. The Spanish began colonizing efforts in what is today South Texas after withdrawing to el Paso in the wake of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 that occurred in New Mexico.
“O’ what may man within him hide, through angel on the outward side.” ~ William Shakespeare
