We went to the Feast Day on Friday, but I've been too lazy to put up the pictures :P
This was the first ever Feast Day held for San Luis Rey De Francia at our church, Mission San Luis Rey. I only know a little about feast days, but apparently they do them in Spain too. In doing some investigating, I learned that there was an old tradition where instead of celebrating a child's birthday, they would celebrate the child name day/Feast Day (if they were named after a saint) ~ <3 Nati

The roof of the Mission is very old. It's the same roof
