    Great place to visit, go to church, learn, and share with family. This was our fourth stop on our tour of all the San Antonio missions here and rode up to the Alamo after. While I cycle frequently my family does not. You should be a bit active to be able to make the whole journey, but it's not too bad if you stop and hang out along the way. We brought snacks and went in late spring. Oh and did I forget to mention sun block?

    This is the most northern of the missions in the historic park and not as large, land wise, as the other three missions it is the only mission that is not a reconstruction. It is one of two missions that you are allowed to photograph inside without special permission. There is a display that has recorded stories told by people related to the mission and I did not see anything similar at the other missions. The grounds are well maintained as are the structures. There are restrooms available and drinking water. Parking was not a problem when we were there.

    According to the information at Mission Concepcion, this church is mostly original. There is very little left of the Mission compound, but the church and grounds are worth the visit. We were there on a Sunday morning during Mass. Could not take any interior pictures, but it looked very interesting. There are exhibits in a few of the original rooms just off of the front side of the church. If this review was helpful to you, please give it a like.

    They were having church today there. Which was amazing. Considering the Church was erected in 1690. I was also impressed with the architecture of the mission. I failed to take any pictures myself. But trust me it was impressive.

    Out of the four missions on the south side of San Antonio that make up the World Heritage Site and the National Park System, I would consider this one a medium sized one, just a little smaller than Mission San Jose. Just like the other missions, this one is still a fully operational church. Take your time looking at all the details inside the church. Remember, these were built in the wilderness frontier in the first half of the 1700’s. The sanctuary has a beautifully arched ceiling, and if you take a look toward the ceiling at the back of the church, you will notice a small window. On a certain time and day of each year, the sunlight shines through this and is directed on the painting of Jesus Christ which is hung above the altar. Yes, they knew enough about astronomy way back then to know when the sun would be in that certain place and enough to build the church, so the window and the painting were in exactly the right place. In one of the side rooms, take special note of the painting on the ceiling and the tops of the walls (see my photos). The red lines and blue lines represent the “Red Path” and the “Blue Path” that the American Indians of this region believed they has to follow (Google for more information). The sun with the face of the moon within it also has a good story behind it. Notice the face in the moon is the face of a Spaniard. Remember, it was the Spaniard Franciscan monks who built these places with the intention of converting the American Indians to Catholicism. This painting had something to do with that.
