The interior of the Santa Gertrudis Mission was in
a state of disarray when I visited. Furniture was piled here
and there, and a wooden scaffolding supported the entire
ceiling of the sanctuary. The wooden confessional
screen stood out like a jewel. I photographed it with the
aid of a single 60 watt light bulb on a dangling cord.
Oh what I would give to hear the stories that
passed through that screen. |
