LA Capilla De San Elcear
San Elizario Chapel, as known as La Capilla de San Elcear, was never a mission, but it functioned as a presidio chapel. It provided the religious needs of a presidio or an outpost of military personnel. The presidio was moved to the present site in 1789, to protect travelers and settlers along the Camino Real (Royal Highway) which ran from Mexico City through Juarez City, Mexico then called Paso del Norte to Santa Fe, NM. Its close proximity to the Ysleta and Socorro missions also provided protection for them.When Mexico became independent from Spain in 1821, the military presence at the presidio decreased. By 1848, the presidio had fallen into ruins. Rebuilding efforts began in 1853, with a small church. This proved inadequate and the present structure was completed in 1882. The exterior appearance has ever since changed very little.San Elizario MissionSan Elizario TexasUSA

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the timeless beauty of LA Capilla De San Elcear, also known as San Elizario Chapel. Although it was never a mission, this historic chapel served as a vital religious center for the presidio or military outpost in its heyday. Built in 1789 to safeguard travelers and settlers along the Camino Real, which stretched from Mexico City to Santa Fe, NM, it stood as a symbol of protection and faith. Situated near the Ysleta and Socorro missions, La Capilla de San Elcear played an essential role in defending these neighboring religious establishments. As Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, the military presence at the presidio diminished over time. By 1848, neglect had reduced it to ruins. However, determined efforts to revive this historical gem began in 1853 with a small church. Yet it soon became evident that more substantial reconstruction was necessary. Finally completed in 1882, the present structure has remained largely unchanged on its exterior ever since. Mark A Paulda's photograph showcases not just architectural grandeur but also highlights how history can be preserved through artistry. The image invites viewers into a world where time stands still—a testament to resilience and devotion that echoes through generations. As we admire this print from Fine Art Storehouse by Mark A Paulda (91110203), let us remember that beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a story of cultural heritage and unwavering spirituality embedded within LA Capilla
