Jalpan Mission in Sierra Gorda
Although the mission in Jalpan was established before JunAipero Serrs 1750 arrival into the region, Serra is given credit for building the five main missions of this area and completing the evangelization of the local people.
In reality, the missions were built by Pame hands, under the direction of various Franciscan monks including JoseAntonio de MurguAia in ConcAa, Juan Crispi in Tilaco, Juan Ramos de Lora in Tancoyol and Miguel de la Campa in Landa.
However, the vision for the building of the missions was Serrs, as he imagined a type of utopia based on Franciscan principles. Serra insisted that the missionaries learn the local languages and experience hunger along with the rest of the population. There was still hostility to the Spanish presence, and Serrs response was economic as well as spiritual.
The main feature of these churches is the ornate decoration of the main portals, although there is decoration on the bell towers and in some churches, other areas as well

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and history of Jalpan Mission in Sierra Gorda. Although Junipero Serra is often credited with building the five main missions in the area, it was actually the Pame people who constructed these architectural wonders under the guidance of Franciscan monks.
Serra's vision for these missions was based on Franciscan principles, aiming to create a utopia where missionaries learned local languages and shared in the struggles of the population. Despite initial hostility towards Spanish presence, Serra approached evangelization from both economic and spiritual perspectives.
The intricate decoration on the main portals of these churches is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that went into their construction. Each mission tells a story of faith, culture, and resilience that continues to inspire visitors today.
As you gaze upon this photo print, let yourself be transported back in time to an era where artistry met spirituality in perfect harmony. Let Jalpan Mission remind you of the power of unity, creativity, and unwavering belief in something greater than ourselves.
