EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Junipero Serra, a Spanish missionary who played a significant role in American history. Originally known as Miguel Jose Serra, he dedicated his life to spreading Christianity and establishing missions across the continent. The image showcases an important moment in Serra's journey - the founding of Mission San Diego on July 16th, 1769. The photograph portrays a scene filled with symbolism and historical significance. In the foreground stands Father Serra himself, surrounded by men from various backgrounds - American Indians and Spaniards alike. Together, they are united under the common goal of building a church that would become an integral part of colonial America. The backdrop reveals a breathtaking coastline along the Pacific Ocean, emphasizing how far-reaching Serra's mission was. A cross and crucifix stand tall at the altar, representing faith and devotion amidst new frontiers. Tools like an ax and shovel remind us of the physical labor required to establish these missions. Through this powerful visual representation, we gain insight into Junipero Serra's unwavering dedication as both a missionary and founder. His influence extended beyond religion; he left an indelible mark on Latin America and New Spain through his efforts in Mesoamerica. This print serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights one man's extraordinary commitment to his beliefs while shaping America's cultural landscape forever.
