Bonus Entry. The Churches of Zapotlanejo, México City, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende and Mérida.

Posted byOur FamilyPosted inUncategorized

After taking a bunch of photographs of the kids near cathedrals and churches today in Mérida. I decided to post every photo I’ve taken of churches since we came to Mexico. Churches here are preserved, and revered. It’s beautiful to behold a church built in the 16th century that is still standing and being used. I tried to only post photos of the four kids posing in front of a church. But there are some exceptions.

There is a couple photos of inside a church and inside a private alter. Regardless if you are a believer or not, you’ve got to respect the faith and fortitude in building these churches. Especially the cathedral in Mexico City. It took over 100 years to build it. The people who began the work to build it knew they would die before it would be completed.

The Church of Belen
The Cathedral of Zapotlanejo. Bonnie’s grandpa and her great grandparents attended this church.

The cathedral in Mexico City. The largest cathedral in North America.
Cathedral of Valenciana in Guanajuato
No clue what this church is called. In Guanajuato.
Cathedral of San Miguel de Allende.
The church of Saint Philip Neri. We also have a church named after this saint in Alameda. I would guess this church in the photo is a few hundred years older.
Templo de Nuestra Senora de Salud in San Miguel de Allende
A church in San Miguel de Allende built in the mid 1500s
The cathedral of Mérida.
The church of Jesus Christ.

I will eventually get the names of all of the in names churches and say when they were built. Until then. Good night.
