Jalpan Mission in Sierra Gorda
Although the mission in Jalpan was established before JunAipero Serrs 1750 arrival into the region, Serra is given credit for building the five main missions of this area and completing the evangelization of the local people.
In reality, the missions were built by Pame hands, under the direction of various Franciscan monks including JoseAntonio de MurguAia in ConcAa, Juan Crispi in Tilaco, Juan Ramos de Lora in Tancoyol and Miguel de la Campa in Landa.
However, the vision for the building of the missions was Serrs, as he imagined a type of utopia based on Franciscan principles. Serra insisted that the missionaries learn the local languages and experience hunger along with the rest of the population. There was still hostility to the Spanish presence, and Serrs response was economic as well as spiritual.
The main feature of these churches is the ornate decoration of the main portals, although there is decoration on the bell towers and in some churches, other areas as well

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and history of Jalpan Mission in Sierra Gorda. While Junipero Serra is often credited with building the five main missions in the area, it was actually the skilled hands of the Pame people, under the guidance of Franciscan monks like Jose Antonio de Murguia and Juan Crispi, who constructed these architectural marvels.
Serra's vision for these missions was rooted in Franciscan principles, aiming to create a utopia where missionaries learned local languages and shared in the struggles of the indigenous population. Despite initial hostility towards Spanish presence, Serra approached evangelization through both economic and spiritual means.
The intricate decoration on the main portals of these churches is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that went into their construction. Each mission tells a story of cultural exchange, resilience, and faith.
As you gaze upon this image, let yourself be transported back in time to an era where different cultures converged to create something truly remarkable.
