The founding of Spanish Missions in California furnished an epic in history. These historical monuments are reminders of the great Franciscan adventure. Years of patient labor, decades of heroic sacrifice by Fray Serra and his Franciscan brothers (i.e. behind the era of the founding of 21 Missions and their branches, the ruins of which still stand in wonder and beauty, at various points along 600 miles of California’s glorious coastal region.

Thank you Lagina!
I'm glad you like it! The text on the card is very pro-mission; however, the reality is that the mission system destroyed the lives of the native americans who lived in california at the time. I liked the card though, as it shows a very real, if disturbing, chapter in California history.
