Identify this person


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.

clue


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.

Good guess, but not correct.


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.

That is correct


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.
