Mezquite on the floor and stars on the ceiling

Beautiful temple where Saint Francis of Assisi is venerated. The floor is made of mezquite wood which makes the temple warm in the cold weather and the ceiling is covered with stars. Saint Francis is visited there in October each year by thousands of people.

Beautiful construction.

It just transports you back in time. The paintings and the floor are typical in the north of Mexico.
