EDITORS COMMENTS
Junipero Serra: A Devoted Missionary and Pioneer of California's Missions This evocative photograph print captures the revered figure of Junipero Serra (1713-1784), a Franciscan friar and missionary who played a pivotal role in the early history of California. Serra is depicted in the image with a solemn expression, deep in prayer, his hands folded in supplication. The image transports us back in time to the late 18th century, an era of exploration, conversion, and cultural exchange. Born in Mallorca, Spain, in 1713, Serra joined the Franciscan Order at the age of 16. He was sent to the New World in 1749, where he spent the next three decades ministering to the indigenous people of Mexico and Central America. In 1769, at the age of 56, Serra embarked on a new mission: to establish a series of missions along the California coast. The first of these missions was San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo, founded at Carmel in 1770. Over the next two decades, Serra founded a total of 21 missions, stretching from San Diego in the south to Sonoma in the north. These missions not only served as centers of religious instruction but also provided a vital source of food, shelter, and protection for the native peoples. Despite the challenges and hardships he faced, Serra remained steadfast in his missionary work. He was a tireless preacher, a compassionate healer, and a devoted advocate for the indigenous people. His legacy continues to be felt in California today, where he is remembered as a pioneer, a visionary, and a man of deep faith. This historic photograph print is a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of Junipero Serra on California's history and the legacy of the Franciscan missions. It is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of California, the Franciscan Order, or the early days of European exploration and settlement in the New World.
