Fundación y Historia del Templo de la Santa Cruz
En este sitio histórico, llamado Cerro de Sangremal, verificóse la guerra de la conquista probablemente el 25 de junio de 1531. Al día siguiente se celebró aquí la primera misa. Por el mismo tiempo se labró una CRUZ DE PIEDRA, que hasta hoy se venera en esta iglesia, y se colocó en una ermita de carrizo cubierta de tajamanil, la primera en Querétaro. Junto a ella hubo una vivienda para los franciscanos y un hospital para los indios.En 1548 la iglesia cambió de sitio y se empezó a construirlo que ahora se llama el Convento Grande de S. Francisco, mientras tanta quedó la Cruz de piedra como humilladero a la entrada del camino de México. Por 1640 ya se construía el convento y la iglesia actual. El 15 de Agosto de 1683 Fr. Antonio Linaz estableció aquí un Colegio para misioneras, el primero en toda la América. Durante dos siglos salieron de él insignes misioneros, exploradores pacificadores y civilizadores de vastas regiones entre Texas, Arizona y Centroamérica.English translation: At this historic site, called Cerro de Sangremal (Hill of Bad Blood), occurred the conquest by the Spanish against the native people, probably on June 25, 1531. The next day the first Mass was celebrated here. At the same time a stone cross was carved, which today is still worshiped in this church. It was placed in a chapel made of reeds covered with a wood-shingled roof, the first in Querétaro. Next to it was a house for the Franciscans and a hospital for Indians.In 1548 the church changed its location and building was begun on what is now called the Great Convent of St. Francis, while the Stone Cross was placed as a shrine on the road to Mexico City. By 1640 the convent and the present church had been constructed. On August 15, 1683 Friar Antonio Linaz established here a school for missionaries, the first of its kind in the Americas. For two centuries illustrious missionaries, explorers and civilizing peacekeepers left from here for the vast regions between Texas, Arizona and Central America.| HM Number | HM1P8B |
