Mission Nombre de Dios
Walking
toward the Mission grounds from the parking lot, this is what you see: a
peaceful lagoon, a welcoming bench, and a view of the gazebo and ancient tombs
and gravestones through the shadows of the trees. You could easily spend a decent amount of time
reading the stones and honoring those who are buried here. If you have the
ability, you could even do research on the departed while walking the grounds.
St. George Street
This
beautiful Spanish tile fountain topped with native coquina is located behind
the Café del Hidalgo along St. George Street. Of interest: Sometime in the past, a Native American Christian woman was found to be
buried very near this place. She was reburied with care, and to my knowledge
still lies there today.
