These are the remains of a famous missionary, buried in another part of northern Mexico. However, he was linked to the history of Baja California.

This is the interior of a fairly well known mission, not in Baja California, established by the missionary. Identify the mission. There is a clue to
the name of the mission in the photo.

Clues

I will give you two clues. This Jesuit missionary was born in thee Tyrol region in the Italian Alps in the mid-17th century. He died in 1711, but not
in Baja California.

Salvaterra? Sounds more like a Spanish name though....???
Good guess, but not correct.
academicanarchist - 9-4-2004 at 08:51 AM
Again, a good guess, but not correct. The missionary was not in Baja California when he died, but he died on the frontier, of natural causes.

Padre Eusabio Francisco Kino, currently residing in Magdalena, Sonora.
That is correct
academicanarchist - 9-4-2004 at 10:29 AM
Well done. Kino was in Baja California in the 1680s, and established San Bruno mission located north of Loreto and not too far from Londo.
The Mission

Elizabeth did not identify the mission, but I will give it to you. It is San Francisco Xavier del Bac, located just south of Tucson. It was one of the
missions established by Kino.
