Excerpt from Historic Churches in Mexico: With Some of Their Legends MY purpose is to write, not of the. Churches of Mexico, nor even of the larger churches, but, as the title Indicates, of the historic churches; that is to say, the churches which have gathered about themselves a certain his tory, and, particularly, a certain amount of legend and folklore. To the Mexican, and doubtless also to the general public, the chief interest in these sacred edifices is due not to the date of founding or the details of archi tectural design and construction so much as to the legends of the titular saint, the richness of the altar, the images and paintings with the stories peculiar to them. Most of the Mex ican churches owe their importance and, in some cases, their existence to some special Image, mysterious painting, or miraculous Cross.
