Description
The three mortuary bells at San Xavier del Bac are framed by the afternoon's glow off the white paint around them and the blue sky behind. The cross above and the bells are part of the architectural features rising above the Sonoran Desert. Mission San Xavier del Bac was finished in 1797 and is the oldest European structure in Arizona. Located just south of Tucson in the Tohono O'odham San Xavier Indian Reservation, the mission has served as a community and spiritual center for the Tohono O'odham people and has drawn thousands of pilgrims yearly that come to pray to Saint Francis Xavier. The San Xavier mission was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.
