Mision Basilica San Juan Capistrano

Today we went to Palm Sunday at the Basilica, a very holy place where you can actually feel very peacefull (at least I do). Services were solemn and the children's choir very nicely tuned :-) After church, we went for some lunch in a place near by the beach. Nice  day indeed!
Here's some information about the Retablo at the Basilica:
A prominent feature of the basilica is the Grand retablo, a 42-foot-high (13 m), 30-foot-wide (9.1 m), 16-ton altar-backing carved in cedar and covered in gold leaf which is stylistically reminiscent of 17th- and 18th-century Spanish colonial and Mexican colonial retablos. The retablo's focal point is the Trinity, composed of the crucifix, God the Father depicted as an ancient partriarch, and the Holy Spirit depicted as a dove. Beneath the Trinity is Our Lady of Guadalupe. Four saints included on the retablo are Saint Francis of Assisi - patron of the mission's founding order, Saint Joseph, Blessed Junípero Serra - the mission's founder, and Saint Kateri Tekakwitha - significant for the area's Indian population. The Retablo was designed and created by 84 artisans in numerous parts at the Talleres de Arte Granda in Madrid, Spain.
