Description

Following a regional tradition of building a chapel or shrine in thanks for the land, DeGrazia's goal was an adobe mission built from the ground up at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains.
The artist made design sketches then gathered a crew of friends who made traditional adobe bricks with soil mixed with the water DeGrazia hauled up in his Model A. The bricks were baked onsite by the Arizona sun.
With its rock floors, interior murals and open-air roof, the Mission in the Sun was built in honor of Padre Kino and dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe, whose image DeGrazia painted onto the adobe altar.

Such a beautiful southwestern image, Tim. I particularly like your framing and perspective on this. As a new resident of Arizona, I want to get down to visit this unique place.
