taos pueblo

 



We visited many missions/churches today as we traveled the High Road to Taos.  The church at the Taos Pueblo is one the "must see" sights.

crosses

 

The telephone poles along FM 193 mimic the shape of the crosses in the Cone Cemetery.  Established in 1897, the cemetery is a few miles down the road from the village of Cone -- population maybe 50.  Cone is about 7 miles from Farmer, Texas -- childhood home of Ima Mae Smith, former First Lady of Texas.

Although built over 300 years ago, the Mission San Francisco de Asis sported fresh adobe.  Each spring, the parishioners gather to mud a new layer of adobe on the walls with a mixture of mud and straw. The work is called “enjarre”, or re-mud. All God's creatures -- and buildings -- welcome spring's renewal.

three crosses

 

Although it no longer has a sign and does not appear to be in use, I surmised that at one time this building was a church.  It must have been the three crosses.
