Crosses of San Lorenzo de Picurís Mission Church at Picuris Pueblo near Peñasco, New Mexico, 2019.
Franciscan priests built a mission there in 1629, in order to bring the Picuris into Catholicism and the Spanish ways of life. While active, the mission was rebuilt several times following Pueblo uprisings and Comanche raids. |
