Description
Photograph of the interior view of the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel, looking down the center aisle towards the alter, San Gabriel, ca.1900. About a dozen pictures hang from the sides of the sanctuary. Pews and benches form an aisle moving toward the altar visible at the front. Six(?) statues sit in wall cavities over the altar. The ceiling is has decorative beams.; "Mission San Gabriel Arcangel was founded on September 8, 1771 by Father Junipero Serra, Presidente of the California Missions Chain. It was the 4th mission in the 21-mission chain in Alta California. It was named for the Archangel Gabriel. Father Antonio Cruzado designed the mission with the front of the mission actually being a sidewall. The entrance to the mission is on the side of the building. There are nearly 6,000 Indians buried at Mission San Gabriel Arcangel. The Indians near the mission were from the Gabrielino Tribe. At first there was trouble with the Indians as the soldiers treated them very poorly. But in time, the padres gained the Indians confidence as soon there were many Indians living at the mission. Many of the Indians were hired as labourers in the pueblo of Los Angeles. Mission San Gabriel was a busy and active mission. The economy at Mission San Gabriel Arcangel was similar to the other missions in that they planted crops of wheat and corn. They also planted vineyards, and raised cattle and sheep. The agriculture was needed not only to maintain the mission community and the nearby Indians, but was used for trade and served to visitors to the mission. The mission grew large crops of food such as corn and beans. It was also well known for its fine wines, and most of the soap and candles used at the other missions were made at the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel." -- Rob Garretson
