Two Historic Landmarks


 Here is a picture of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico.  They were given this name by the Francisco Missionary Padre Frincisco Torres, as he lay dying.  His last words were I see the Blood of Christ, as he looked at the vista before him--Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
