A Great Place to Stop and Reflect

A Great Place to Stop and Reflect

After lunch, this was our first stop in San Jose del Cabo.

The church was built in honor of Father Nicolas Tamaral, who was beheaded 1734 after preaching against poligimists. Our tour guide, Johnny Boy, explained to us that poligism was practiced due to the large number of women compared to men.

In front of the church is a sign that tells the history of the mission. Above the entrance is a beautiful, but sad, mural depictign Father Nicolas Tamaral before his death. Don't worry, it does not show the beheading -- it shows the priest getting dragged by three men.

The inside of the church was not overly ornate, but very beautiful. I felt very much at peace looking inside the altar area.

There is a donation box in the church that we donated one dollar to, which obviously is up to you, but we felt like it was giving a littel money to a good cause.

I'd recommend stopping by this church to anyone who was in the area, however, it may be difficult to anyone with mobility challenges. It's nice to have a moment on vacation where you stop and think.

From journal September in Los Cabos
