San Ysidro Catholic Church, Sandoval County, New Mexico USA
The town of San Ysidro was formed around 1699 and "granted" by the Governor of New Mexico in 1786.
“San Ysidro was named for the patron saint of farmers, an 11th century Spanish saint, who is widely celebrated throughout New Mexico. He is depicted wearing blue trousers, red shirt and flat hat (a typical costume of pioneer farmers) with a plow and ox team, accompanied by an angel. The legend says the angel does his plowing while he is at prayer.” (Sandoval County historical webpage)
I can’t find much on the earlier community church(es), but the current adobe church, shown in this image, has rural NM character, was built in 1947 and is too close to St. Rt. 4!
